The rear wheel well posed an extreme challenge. We had to turn the corner with the rear suspension loads to move them forward. There simply wasn't any other alternative--so we carved the transition out of a block of aluminum. Most people don't realize the driver's head is behind the leading edge of the rear tire. The wheelbase is extremely short in these cars. See page 61 for a photo.

We haven't thought about price for another car. Even with the programming done, the car is extraordinarily difficult to make. Anyone who wants one would undoubtedly want all sorts of different options and custom parts so the car would not end up exactly like this one anyway. It would be best if anyone interested called and we discussed their vision of their own car.
