Bodywork Options

Apart from the normal 7 shape, does anyone know of any other bodywork designs that would fit easily onto a locost chassis?

Just want to consider the options before I go ahead and buy all that GRP!

Cheers,
Stu

It didn't twig with me for a while but the marlin roadster is basically a seven but vintage looking. All vintage cars, like MGs and Bentlys have seven like shapes. That is engines behind the front axle, seats near the rear, narrow body tapering to the nose with sticking out wheels. The old timers look fantastic, especially if they've got modern horsepower under the bonnet!

lotus 11 body from gts tuning and possibly st phoenix from stuart taylor will fit. its been discussed before, try a search on fully bodied/body locost or something.

The ng tc has a nice vintage look as well as the marlin sportster, I am using bits of the styling from both for my build. I have been considering shortening my build down to normal length to get more of the ng look.
