Lotus 7 Group Build: Just ridiculous.

Here is the beginning of my rather ridiculous build of a Lotus 7. It doesn't yet look as bizarre as it will. But, this is my inspiration:

jayll's C6-R

How does that model inspire me? Well, when I first opened that thread, the chassis sans body tricked me into thinking I was looking at a outrageously modified 7. But then it occurred to me that I was looking at a Corvette chassis. And even though that model was amazing, I was a little sad that it wasn't a very modified 7. Then I thought, holy crap, why don't I modify my 7 like that!

So, the plan is to add the roll cage, add some ground effects on either side that go from behind the front wheels to the back wheels, to have my signature F20C (sticking out of the hood this time), black with an orange band around the nose and stripe down the length, cut the crap out of the back, add a fuel cell and a stupid big diffuser and make an otherwise normal... ish... car just beyond all reason.

At least I'm inspired. And motivated. And also should be arrested for MUI.
