Building the Monocoque

The monocoque is designed as an 18 gauge aluminum eliptical tube with two "holes" cut in it for the driver and passenger, and both ends of the tube having bulkheads.

On the rear bulkhead, the rear suspension is attached via a subframe. At the front, there is a tubular frame projecting out of the eliptical tube and this carries the engine and front suspension.

Construction of the monocoque started in July and here are some pictures:
