my first post

So I de-lurked, just to post about this. Of course I'm weeks late, I've been spending most of my time in the Aero forum.

So I'll just say nimblemotors is right on one level, but that means you choose your donor platform with care, or take the White Zombie approach--gang 'em together.

And also: Poulsen Hybrid = sheet metal screws in your rocker panel!

The installation that would be of interest to me would be to the air-cooled VW transaxle. It is possible to install inboard disk brakes; or at least we could in the 60's. =) An inboard installation could address issues of un-sprung weight and road debris.

The demonstrator car probably has an increase in the rear track (absent wheels with more offset).
