i see a few of you guys are running fibreglass roofs,

We decided to keep the origional aluminuim roof, but cut out the inner skin.. its just a bit safter than a fibreglass item if i flip the car.
Cuting out the inner skin gets the roof real light, you can easily pick it up and fit to the car on your own.

Also, the fibreglass panels will be made from carbon kevlar, one of our sponsors is a Fibreglass company, so we can get the carbon kevlar at a seriously good price the fibreglass panels we have made for now are for mockup of the car

I would like to see Hannah take a crack at making all the body panels in Carbon Kevlar!
