Decided to start from scratch Tube chassis mid engine

Well after working with my buddy here and having two minds in a brain storm we decided to build our 2 bugs from the ground up tube chassis. Right now we are looking at Formual Pro Mazda uprights that will let us run Long double a arm suspention with pushrod shock mount setup. I am going mid engine with the 13b turbo rotary and single seater center mounted. Basicly I am building a formula car with a bug body. For the most part it is going to look "stock" lol. It will have a smooth aluminum under tray that runs from the front lip all the way back to a defuser coming out back where the apron use to be. here is a photoshopped version of our body idea with a 4" body chop and 2" top chop. This is still just a rough idea of the body look.
