Ok, I shall try and answer a few questions in one reply.
Well ,is the frame my own design, well yes it is but based on these photos attached ! Honestly that was it from the start obviously a few more pics showing no more detail plus it was a coupe the original sister car to the racer. The car is based on a 4cv platform that is with no bulckhead so the front frame was based around what the original monocoque bulkhead looked like but adapting it to incorporate the top hat aircraft style rails and as there was very limited photo detail of the rear frame as you can see from the engine bay photo!! Obviously the coupe offered no help in this area but there were other cars based around this body shape built on ladder style chassis which were self supporting that required no stiffening just minimal support for the body A and B post details from these cars were avaliable in picture but only after I had made mine. Basically the design came from common sense and looking at contemporary vehicles it was built as I went along and underneath the allready made body sections.
