that said, I do like it...
it doeslook to be rather wider than an ultima and the cabin much thinnner,whcih would mean alterations to the cage and roll hoops,together with the front rad cage needing altreation and the entrie rear chassis section would need alterations and lengthening
just thank god my workshop ISNT finished yet...or a silly money pit project may ensue..
I was planning major body mods at some point.. but the way things have been going lately that may end up being hip and knee replacements by the time the new workshop is finished..

I think you will find that the centre section is almost standard Ultima. It is the front and rear clams that have been widened. Not sure about the slab sides and sharp wing-top edge but I do like the overall look (not £100,000 worth though).it doeslook to be rather wider than an ultima and the cabin much thinnner,whcih would mean alterations to the cage and roll hoops,together with the front rad cage needing altreation and the entrie rear chassis section would need alterations and lengthening

Is it possible to ever finish the workshop!!! Surely it is constantly work in progress that changes with that new piece of 'essential equipment' you have just managed to acquire. And then there are the little decorative items that you find on ebay or at autojumble's to brighten up the place.
It probably will be the hip and knee repairs before it is complete and that is how it should be.

Don't be shy... come on in! The waters...errr.... are choppy!
Yep! I have just come back from the consultant Stazi and they have booked me in for a knee op!

The Aero-Master looks very striking but if you look closely at the chassis in the pictures it is very crude with open ended box sections of quite small sizes and very little triangulation.
You would probably need to reverse engineer it. Buy the body and then build a decent chassis to fit it.

PS. I would like my new hip and knee joints made of titanium.................. anything to save weight.

agreed, exactly what i thought when i saw pictures of the chassis, it doesnt look very stiff, or even very well built... but that could just be the pictures...maybe, but probably not.The Aero-Master looks very striking but if you look closely at the chassis in the pictures it is very crude with open ended box sections of quite small sizes and very little triangulation.

whether it would fit the ultima chassis with some modification really depends on exactly how far you would need to go on modifying and if any main chassis parts would need altered.... which could end up requiring sva or whatever the current test would be at the time of completion...which I am sure no one would want

That chassis has had a LOT of work done to it. The suspension & steering look interesting, Is that what it takes to get rid of bump steer, LOL ;-) There really is nothing about that car I don't like, it looks awesome and appears to have been properly engineered. I'd love to see it up close.
