I was thinking more along the lines of having components available for further modification, research and development. Kinda like the open-source movement in software.

I could see folks with stock Geo Metros and installing the Dolphin nose and using whatever kambak or boattail suits them.

Lot of good work being done on ecomodder, but it's like they're each singular pieces of art.

If I wanted to do this, It would take me years to learn all the skills and apply them.

It would be cool to just buy pieces that can be bolted on and tinker with other configurations; fuel-gas-EV, engine, 3 wheels, 4wheels, etc. Or just build copies.
