I have been working on my idea of a exo Miada. Want to drive it at the track and street. This is the prototype. A better one will come later. I will get the car cleaned up from storge for some better pictures.

This looks like a cool project.

What's your projected weight savings?

Thank You, maybe you can help me with the right prop size for the Miada 4 banger motor? Since you have a eye for this type of design, maybe some ideas on dual or single plane hull???

Their will be a main hoop. safe roll bars are my thing for sure coming from the off road exo car world.


Not sure how much the weight will be for sure. I will add 1000 #'s to make it safe if I have to!!! Some exo cars have some poor frame designs.

Thank you, to the guys that see that I am just doing something my way. I will try and get more pictures soon.

I just got the frame completed and ready to make the jig. After I remove the frame I will cut all the extra sheet metal off the car.. I had to put the project on hold for some time now due to my partner had some cash flow problems. I have most of the parts to finish the car now. I hope to get it done this summer! I have been finishing my other projects. I will post better pictures after the frame is cleaned up. The jeep in the pictures. is one of my other projects.

You're not cutting enough stock stuff to be adding all that pipe. Even nascar dont have so much side protection boss.

But good news is, it would take a hydrogen bomb to bust through the rear end to rupture the gas tank. Bad news is if you happen to roll over...
