Any one have any experience of them?
I have a Tubular space frame body on a 30's car and was thinking of having a go at covering it?

It was usually a fabric called Rexine then dosed with nitrocellulose, all nice and flammable.

Similar to an aircraft or something else?

Trabant owners club may have some ideas.

They are rags and resin heavy thick and I believe very tough to damage

Fiberglass and carbon fiber are fabric based....
Anyways wondered about using cotton cloth or nylon added to metallic net to make custom panels many times

the robin reliants had fibreglass bodies light and thin whilst being strong also less expensive

they was plenty of sports cars made out of fibre glass bodies as well

.....and you can end up with a creative one-off look...a bit like the AM Valkyrie maybe.. ( but not quite so ridiculous)

Isn't Kevlar a fabric.......just baked......SWMBO may have something to say about using the oven though......

Someone's being in a pedantic mood about 3 Pin Plugs.....

I'm assuming the fabric body coverings were 'doped' with something to tighten them, like the balsa and tissue paper aircraft models we used to make.
V interesting idea for a car

It is one of those things that really speaks volumes. How many people refer to a Transit Ford, or a Corsa Vauxhall?

I do understand, but Robin Reliant does seem roll off the tongue easier, but I've never heard anyone refer to a Morgan 3-wheeler as a plug......

reliant robin isnt easy to remember but robin reliant is

also sounds way better

It doesn't sound better, it is not descriptive as no such vehicle exists. It also acts like a baseball cap worn backwards, marking you out as an idiot, regardless of the facts. I know that you are better than that.
