Not really seen any locosts with naked carbon bodies.
Hi there can any one help i am after new side panel's for a Ron Champion chassis,the panel's on my kit have been home made and not the crisp
finish i am looking for.
Does any one know where in can get them manufactored as a whole complete unit.
Alluminium or fibreglass ? if all people tend to make their own, a wide range of companies can supply the Panels I believe the MK, MAC 1 Start Taylor etc etc fit you do need to check the height of the side rails though as this is a deciding factor, some people raise this to allow fitment of a taller engine
Hi there i an not worried whether Alluminium or Fibreglass,i have already ask MK and will not fit as the chassis drop's by the door/seat section.
Check AGM Sportscars

I intend making mine in Carbon Fibre.

Hi the Ron Champion Chassis does not drop over the door thresholed,where are you getting the carbon fibre panels made as that would look good?.
Try 907 on here..... aka Paul Gooderham, there is nothing he can't make out of metal, built his own car out of ally.
And his not far from you, Essex Suffolk boarders, Between Clare & Sudbury.

Gts make a set for there Panther that are a direct fit.
Good quality ( for a kitcar ) good fit and at a fare price.
Do a search before spending your money and make your choice.
On the other hand a custom alloy set from (Paul) 907 would be crisp as his work is very nice 
Hi there Thankyou for all your link's i am looking in to it now.

Darren's been out of circulation for a while, I used to sell a few bits for him on here, but I haven't been in contact with him for three
months.
He was due to go into Hospital for an operation which will have laid him up for quite a few weeks. So may not be able to help you.
Going to make them myself.
Probably just hand laminate some carbon on a sheet of flat glass and vacuum bag after. Creating a large sheet, which I will then trim to size. Going
to make molds for the bonnet and rear arches, won't be for a while yet though.....

No, I am doing it purely for looks. And I have worked with CF for a long time so find it (composites) fairly easy.
I really like the look of that car, thanks for posting it. Still, you dont see many, and I was sort of meaning mid engined locosts.....
