Better late than never - I've been away from the computer this week! A lot of the Gold Coast guys have used Ray Cross from somewhere around Tweed Heads. He seems reasonable by all reports. Closer to home is Eric Blythe in Moorooka. He's a car enthusiast (building a Lotus 7 replica with a Ferrari V8!!!) Who was your engineer, and what problems is he giving you? If you don't want to put it here, email me at cobraracer@yahoo.com

Have you heat cycled the body on your RMC? I have had two RMC bodies that looked perfect when painted, only to see them ripple along the guards after about 3 months of driving. Very disheartening I've been told the best way to stop the fiberglass from walking around like that is to post-cure the glass. Usually by heating the body in a paint booth, letting it fully cool, heating it again etc etc. A weekend of heating/cooling over and over is supposed to do wonders for the stability of the fiberglass.
