Chris,

I'd say: Go for it! This sort of thing is really interesting and worthwhile (as in saving lives for us dumb *ss*s that actually try to drive too fast with a 'naked' bug )!

I hope you keep us posted on this project. This is the kind of stuff I find fascinating. Here is something along these lines with a WWII Jeep model!
