Very interesting. Waiting to see what you come up with.

Curious about the plan. Are you anticipating some weight saving?

It's called lightening the wallet......

Made me laugh. Airplane projects seem to to that. I've tried all kinds of weight saving mods, and the bulk of the weight saving seems to always be in the area of the wallet.

Fortunately we have a great friend who also happens to be a world class windsurfing, kiteboarding, and surf board builder. He works with a lot of carbon fiber and mentioned wanting to help with the build, so this is what we've come up with so far. We have many other ideas in the works, but for now the floorboards are great and work out to be lighter and stronger than what comes in the kit.

Looks good.... so what's next? Carbon Fiber cowl? Doors?

[ClickClickBoom]

Schweet!
You know what really screams out for a carbon fiber treatment? The seat, it's a fairly large piece and a carbon fiber/Kevlar layup would light, strong and incredibly tough replacement!
Any plans to sell a kit like what you already have fabbed?

Be careful with the carbon fiber next to the aluminum center console side panels (or any aluminum parts)... it can be a real corrosion issue if the two materials touch without an adequate surface barrier between them.
