The body Paul used is available through Fioroni USA. It is not yet listed on the fioroniusa.com website, but it will be soon, along with a few other offerings. The car Paul drove/drives is an OFNA DM1S. His car is very fast and drives very well, not entirely due to the body, but mainly because of the meticulous build and attention to setup. Like many DM1S owners, he has replaced the push rod suspension with a conventional shock layout, and made a few other inexpensive mods to the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain. If you have ever seen him at a race you will note that he is constantly tearing the car apart and trying different things, many of which don't work, but in the end he is able to make the car better.
