Brewbrother, I am going to use the lost art of laminating paper to make the body. My father and I built a racing sailboat with a paper hull, it was fast and really cheap.                                                                                 Paladin,The Watsonian is a beautiful car , but I dont have those kinds of dollars in my budget. Also I am 63 and any woman I take riding will need a place to put her walker.


I am looking forward to perodic reports on your progress. Your project is quite intresting. I can only hope we will get some pics.

Are you guys lucky or what? I just came in from the bar and I was feeling good and I spent 30 minutes telling you all my plans for the sidecar and I pushed the wrong button. It is all gone. To summerise it - super trick sidecar steering, trick suspension, super simple body, Oil cooling, trick exhaust, and more. I grew up poor. My father was a speed freak and he loved to beat the rich guys by doing with his imagenation what they couldnt afford. If I can pull this project off it will belong to all of you.

An update on the layered paper (the fibers are what give it strength) is carbon fiber. Used in race cars, race MC's, Bicycles etc. Might be worth looking into.

Max,thanx.You have increased my confidence.   Paladin,If you wet paper it can be stretched over a compound surface and by adding layers it becomes like plywood. During WW1 the Germans built wooden aircraft with compound curves by laminating wood in molds and I hope to do the same with paper. And yes I have worked with fiberglass and I hate the stuff.You dont get into trouble sanding paper.I was unable to do any work this winter as my workspace is not heated,but now I am finding time to get into my shop.As this progresses I will try to post Pictures.
