Thanks for the update. What do the light green and red represent? OK, the red is tubing, but is the green a C-chanel frame or a monocoque?

Instead of waiting another 2+ years to launch a complete car... What if a complete chassis was available to ecomodders, and you could add bodies of your own creation...bodies created that really perform well would be made available for purchase by other ecomodders. So My company would sell the community the chassis at reasonable prices and then together we would continually build on that base. The creators of the best bodies or accessories would be compensated...
Well, it would certainly get you around Federal crash testing.

Herding cats. The only place I can see it working is to build to specs for some specific racing classification.
