Hello my Goblin family,
It has always been my dream to fully enclose the Goblin frame. And I'm hoping to start this project with this kickoff ideas thread. Here is a few pictures of kinda what I would like to end up with. Toyota LMP prototype, the other picture of raw car is I believe the Superlite racecar that they stopped making. I'm just using that as a reference to see how the body panels and bottom connect.
I'm planning to model the body in 4 pieces nose, 2 sides 1 rear so that I can cut foam sheet layers on my CNC and glue them together in order to make a mold for CF cloth.
For the bottom aero, I was thinking 1-1.5mm aluminum (.04-.06") sheet riveted to the supports. For the side/front/rear frame extensions I was not sure if I would be able to do some kind of carbon fiber rod with clamps onto the existing goblin steel frame or not. That'll have to be something I might need help with.
Look forward to any ideas/thoughts anyone has.
