Any tube framed FD pictures?

Does anyone have any pictures of a fully tube framed FD? Or something that is just using the FD sub-frames, engine, transmission, and PPF brace???

I was thinking of something like an Ariel Atom. Seems like that would make a cool project, to take the FD's drivetrain, and tube frame it like an Ariel Atom.

As far as I know, yes it is riveted on. I don't recall if it used a real FD tailight housing or not.

On the SCCA GT-2's there are precious few pieces that really come from an assembly line FD3S. Most of the bodywork is composite; the engines are normally aspirated.

The black car in the pics led its race until it was punted off course from behind; he recovered to place pretty well.

There are more than a few 12a engines in kit cars like the Ariel Atom, I think there might even be a 13BREW with twins flying about. But that is in the UK.
