    So yeah because I'm crazy and change stuff 24/7 I didn't want to clog Brett's modelling thread up so I'm posting my crap here.
    4-24-19: Concept 1 underwent a massive redesign structure-wise, and a new nose.
    Redid the crossbeams because they were maaaad complicated and would make the car too heavy meaning i'd have to use more expensive, lighter materials which is not the point of this exercise.
    Yellow bit is removable by four clips that hold it on, remove the panel to be able to get in.
    Removes the need for doors which reduce rigidity.

    Simplified the back of the chassis where the engine sits, will be taking suggestions on what engine I'm gonna put in it, thinking a supercharged Flat-8.

    That looks severely rear-weight-biased.......

    Transmission is a transaxle mounted at the front.
    Did my best to balance the weight.
