Looks nice - but a little short though...

Great artwork, but looks like an Elise to me.

Thanks Dave
I do like the Elise windscreen, and that was my choice, for the sketch....

Jason, my idea was to move the fuel tank, and shorten the rear quite a bit, or that was the idea...

was thinking just where you see the arched steel tube( the empty area in the picture...)the ..., but maybe you would need a custom fuel tank for it....

Yes, I can see that. I considered something similar for my LSIS to give it a larger tank (bit of space above and around the half-shafts).

My fuel tank is situated under that part already - I can take a picture next time it's daylight if you like. My car is a Cobretti, I think.

Thanks Alex,

if you do get a chance, please do !, just a few pictures, to get an idea of the dimensions involved, and for a more realistic future sketch.

Cheers
