SPECS

The Amberglow on paper: scale drawings with the proposed dimensions, and the full target spec sheet.

Everything here is a target for the production van. The drawings are concept references, not engineering CAD, and the numbers will firm up as prototypes get built. Metric first because the tooling is metric, with inches in brackets.
