Hi Derek,
From your drawing and statements it is obvious that you have a different philosophy than mine as to design. (Which is a good thing.)
For me, form follows function.
The JBL body was an exercise in packaging design rather than an aesthetic based design.
The design goals were: (In order of importance.)
1. Control underbody flow.
2. Attempt to re-attach flow from the mid section aft.
3. Minimize package frontal area.
4. Reduce body CG height as much as possible.
5. Capture the “essence” of the roadster style.
Oddly, the design did accomplish these goals.
(Please note: the design calls for a race windscreen and not the standard Cobra unit.)
But others may wish a design based on aesthetics’. Therefore, they may prefer your body to the original JBL body.
Good luck. JBL will certainly supply chassis's to you with bespoke mounting points to accommodate your design.
