While it is not top of my list of favourites, I sometimes wonder whatever happened to Jerry Wiegert's Vector project of years ago. Also, the Mercedes C111 gull wing with triple rotor Wankel looked really cool, and was a body Fran could copy and bond to one of his chassis. However, the Daimler Benz crowd may not take kindly to this.

Or.... how about becoming a distributor for this beauty....
This car looks fabulous from any angle - but no US distributor.. 
They apparently race them in the UK too! welcome  | |

Import the kits and offer a retro-fit to LHD for US comsumption? 
Or just the body/trim and suspension bits and offer a US built chassis - maybe based off the Superlight??
The Honda/Acura V6 drivetrain is readily available and should make for some very exciting yet "economical" performance (even the 4 cylinder VTEC drivetrain would be sweeet). Then figure out a way to get them out the door for ~$25K minus drivetrain??

Fran,your not thinking big! check out my new B-702 at www.Blastolene.com I can let you pull a mold! (sorry I do not know how to post photos) But supplying customers with 702 cu.in v-12's could be like ordering a zf from RBT.
Randy
PS. do you still want me to make some aluminum roofs for 40's? I now have time while I wait for a Trans for my 40. | |
