What’s the closest O-200’able all metal design to a Formula 1 air racer?

Midget / Long Mustang definitely jumps immediately to mind. RV-3 on the big end, though too heavy. The Hummel H5, requires far too many modifications, but has the general shape with a lower canopy.

Not trying to build or race for F1, but I love the class, and would really enjoy a polished and modified little plane to get closer to an F1 style build.

Would enjoy hearing thoughts on designs that may fit the concept, with tweaking.
