MadaboutKitcars

I've been a fan of the Atom for quite some time, and always thought that a more affordable kit should be designed.

I think the new Mev rocket is the closest to this concept, and just for fun, I thought about creating a few body shapes over its chassis.:

Who knows maybe I could try to build it someday...

Would like to have your design feedback, on the various sketches I will be posting in the future.

Thanks in advance for your comments and critique
Cheers

First very rough sketch based on the Rocket, what do you guys think ?

need your feedback.

As usual, looks great.

How about a smaller screen / wind deflector?

Saying that, the front end looks spot on!
Those lights look like they would work really well.

I like the idea of an inner panel in the driver / passenger compartment, showing the 'frame' off.

When can I have one?

a side view of the same car

Thanks Mark, yes you can have a smaller wind deflector/screen, and for the order.....we can work on that.

I'd also like smaller wheels - say 15" front and 17" rear????

I think you shouldn't have a problem in fitting those wheels, and they would be perfect for both, your track and road version.

What options or other models do you think this chassis can take?, I was thinking of a step in Coupe, what do you think?

I need everyones feedback for another design sketch.

What about fully enclosed bodywork, does the front lend itself to an enclosed F1 type front end something on the lines of the Enzo?

Italo, glad to see the copyright logo on your design.

You never know...., but i don't worry too much about it, because if anyone wants to steel it, they can alter a few parts of it, and say its an original design.

I also have a very friendly Lawyer/solicitor...

A new 10 min. rough sketch inspired by the Lotus 340R and brooke R....i only modified the rollbar hoops

Italo

I gotta say, I prefer the first one.

A less complicated screen & I reckon it would be a winner.

I mentioned the (C) following the post on a certain other site. My honest thought was 'the cheeky bar steward'

cut down windscreen and different side paneling....

I like the look of the 2nd one (green one) over the others. Looks more purposeful.

John

I think the green proposal is less toy like and more sportscar, and i agree with you.

It will be more expensive to manufacture.....

another old sketch of mine that uses the same chassis layout as the rocket

Front and top grills look great and will allow down force to be introduced at the front. Would you invisage the doors to open including part of the rear fin.
Keep up the good work who knows I may pluck up the bottle to build one one day and test the market but I could do with a bit more feed back if anyone out there is willing to assist in my market research. Kind regards Stig Mills

Another very rough sketch, Atom meets Seven..., what do you guys think? feedback , comments , critique......

Not doing it for me that one Italo, seems like 3 seperate pods but with no flow between them. eep:

John

First look, I though 'cute frog'.

No idea why, but it is certainly my least favourite.

Sorry mate.

Good comments and critique guys, I'm trying out different ideas,and it's always good to have qualified feedback.

Will sketch a small Coupe now......

Cheers

Just thought that it doesn't make much sense, to make a coupe on this type of chassis.

I believe Mev does have a it covered in their line-up with the MEV 3...a 3 seater roadster, that can become a coupe....

Any other suggestions ?

nice pics fuoriserie.

unfortunately i cant see the last two sketches...any chance of re posting them..?

look on the website theres a new pic of the bodywork ...well what little there is....lol i like the lights he has....which also have the indicators on the top of them visible from the drivers seat so probably wont need a visual indicator on the extremely small dash for SVA..

do you have any ideas for a paint job on the stock bodywork and chassis ( i know by the pics youve posted its a little bit beneath you(and off topic) but you obviously have an eye for good design) just for those of us who couldnt afford or be good enough to make swish panels like yours...

cheers and keep them coming

Hi Italo, if you want me to host the pictures, drop me an email at john @ madabout-kitcars.com (without the spaces) and I'll put them in the thread.

Cheers, John

Hi John, thanks for the offer, I didn't notice that the pictures had dissapeared.........will try to post again, but if it doesn't work I will surely send them to you
Cheers
Italo
