Kind of have same plan as Glen. We are building two bodys. In all honesty the short body cost almost nothing ,except little extra paint and about 80.00 in aluminum. trying to decide about the chute body rear.Love the look,but if going with short body I might as well go for extra light weight,2 sides,cowl and 2 beside motor maybe 1.25 to 1.5 sheets of .040,until can afford carbon fiber parts.
