I definitely wish you the best. Unfortunately, my first-hand experiences with a constantly twisting and flexxing Fordor body being driven 'counters' the recommendations of an engineer who is working with a structure that does not twist or flex like a vehicle does when they are driven. However, with that said, maybe if you make your Fordor a static fixture much like a house is, then your successes may be great using that product.
