I thought I would start a thread for my project so I can get more feedback and advise to help me finish. As Scott mentioned in his monocoque thread I am building a new variant on the Manx mono. My plan is to create a one piece buggy tub that fits directly over  a shortened chassis spine. The though ...

Can't wait to see this thread grow.

Do you think the steel frame and plywood or the fibreglass takes most of the stress?

Does the mono have any caster built in?

Wow that looks pretty serious!!

Great garage that!

My project is on the go slow at the moment. Funds and weather grinding things to a snails pace. Will start a build thread on here soon.

The pictures have dried up!

Thank you Scott. Things are going slow on the project at the moment. The weather here is so wet at the moment that I can't get any fibreglassing done.
