Good call Bob, would be great to put those together.

I'm surprised though that the TVR chassis is more designed around the tunnel than the outside (leaverage and all that with the stresses involved).

All the tvr chassis are built around a spine with the outriggers just supporting body and floor.

Heres a piccy of the wide arch shell.
