Take a look at the Tornado products.
They recently introduced a CF mono chassis....but I've heard them mention that CF body parts could be a possibility. CF can be difficult to work with on items that are "curvy", and the 40's body certainly is that!
I think that a 40 replica with a CF "spider" (the central part of the body that encloses the cabin) would be a welcome development. CF can be made stronger than steel (the original 40's had steel spiders), and that can be a huge difference in driver safety compared to the fragility of fiberglass.
The best advice I've had on this forum was something to the effect of "...build the car light, don't go way overboard on power, get the biggest brakes you can find, they'll never catch you". You can lighten the car considerably by using alloy engine parts, including the block, heads, intake manifolds, water pumps, etc. A CF chassis/body with all alloy engine parts would be a hard act to beat!!!
Give it some thought :idea:
