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

Thanks.
For a paint job, I would consider motorcycle paint schemes, because these are 4 wheel motorcycles track)road cars..
I like the Benelli paint graphics, especially the painted chassis, and my favourite colour would be metallic yellow, with a dark red/purple metallic chassis, just like the Benelli Cafe racer you see here.

nice pics and ideas about the bike paintjob
i agree with you that they are a 4 wheel version of a bike....thats why i like them so much being an Ex biker
the reason i ask about paint jobs is that im thinking of buying one have no experience with glass fibre and very little imagination where colour schemes come into it. although i do want it to be as bare as possible which i think he has done a good job achieving.
my imagination ran out with yellow frame and black panels with some sort of yellow in them.
i think i would do a standard build and then maybe try to mess around with the glass fibre panels afterwards...
cheers

I would go for a yellow mettallic paint for the body, with a dark mettalic red or grey for the chassis.
Triumph motorcycles have great metallic paints, you could use one of 599 options.
Good luck with your project
Ciao

Just read your PM, and replied....
I think it's one of the most interesting exo-skeleton new kits, because it's so basic and minimalist in its design.
You do have the possibility to create different body shapes, and the potential is great for this type of kit.
I'm working on a few more ideas, maybe to incorporate on a personal design project, using a similar chassis......

I am looking to try and replicate the Atom using the Rocket as a base, I would be really interested in you sketches, but unfortunately I cannot read you link below and wandered if you forward you could forward your sketches
Did you ever surce any parts for your design ?

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.:
http://www.mevltd.co.uk/rocketad.htm
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

Hi,
My sketches were done sometime ago and will try to locate them in my archives.
to show again in the forum.
May I ask why would you want to replicate the Atom, when you could make an original design still inspired by the Atom ?
