I have been working for a customer/friend on a new shell for his hill climb/sprint car. The plug is based on a Reliant Kitten shell. The new additions have been built up from ply and Kingspan boards followed by a layer of 450 CSM. A week of applying and sanding filler has resulted in a nice flat surface ready for 2K high build primer followed by 2k direct gloss. Then I shall start adding flanges, it will require an eight piece mould plus wheel arch returns. The final shell will be done in full carbon.

Thanks davro, no fluid dynamics on this project sorry, it was built on the basis of the original shape which didn't really give me many options along with budget or lack of it, lol. On site we always say "a good guess is better than a bad measure" so to also quote Wazza, "if it looks right" theres a good chance it will be, lol
