With thousands of megs of digital hoopla swimming around the internet it's tough to get through it all, but good thing I'm diligent and I powered through it all, and here I am to say that more of the design has been created.
With the original concept, I started working on the rough 3D frame of the new E-Crosser using 1.25" diameter and 1" diameter steel tubing. I am working right now on the basic shape and aero of the body and once I finish the concept, I'll be adjusting the frame to accommodate the hardware like steering rack, suspension, pedals, batteries, motor, windows, etc.
The body shell will not be like this exactly as this is only to get the basic shape of the car. At the end of it all the aluminum sheeting will be riveted to the main frame, and almost none of the tubing will be seen...unless I decide I like the look, because as I see it now, the frame being exposed gives the E-Crosser a unique look. Hmmm. What to do? What to do?
Also, as I was designing this I was thinking I may not add doors. It's actually something I'm not sold on yet, but I'm thinking it's weight I may not want. Plus then there is no need for ventilation into the cabin.

Well now it's time to go back to the circus that is Toronto politics.
