Bob,

The EM car wasn't (isn't?) known for it's originality, but rather the quality of the fiberglass bodies, a heavy duty frame, and the variety of suspension options. Like most of the earlier kit car manufacturers, the molds for the EM body were splashed off of an original car, so visually it is relatively correct. Probably the bigest visual clue that is wrong is the ride height - EM's typically have a lot of 'air' between the top of the back tire and the fender lip.

I had the rear end in my car narrowed and the body lowered in an attempt to overcome this (see photo gallery).

All the drawings and assembly instructions in the manual are for use in a EM build only. Other than maybe giving some basic ideas as to assembly, I don't think it would help you out in your build.

- Dan
