I think that I have found the perfect RT body design.
This Stanley steamer Flying Tea Kettle broke the land speed record in 1906 at 127mph.
I want to use this 16ft. long body but have the RT single-sided swingarm inside the front of the body with the front of the body becoming the rear.
By reversing the body, this gives ample space for the EV front-wheel-drive and forward battery pack.
I am now building a 1/4 scale live-steam version, using laser scanning for all of the parts. This will make it easy to build the full-scale body bucks for the aluminum body panels.
I'm sure that Mr. Morgan, being a contemperary of F.E. Stanley, copied much of the body design for his RT Morgan car bodies.
Regards,
Giovanni
