A cutaway drawing showing the fiberglass panel w/ steel cage construction, 2 panel doors. Self-supporting steel cage. Not laminated to panels. Stress areas reinforced.
There is no "mirror through" warping with this construction design. Steel cage supports door frame, deck lid frame, windshield, hardware mounting areas.

NO "MIRROR THROUGH" WARPING

The steel cage is designed to be invisible on the outside. It does not “mirror through” the shell as do struts laminated on the interior of the panels (a much cheaper construction method.)

The self-supporting steel cage attaches to the fiberglass shell only in a few critical places. This allows the fiberglass panels to expand and contract with temperature changes, without "mirror-through" warping.
