Pardon my ignorance, but how difficult would it be?
If you have the right tools and people its very simple, heck we do it everyday here.

Like I said, I would have much more trust in Elio if they followed the tesla lead and started slow but suppliment with kit sales.

Elio could get in positive cash flow, learn lessons and bypass government regulation if they did the rolling chassis bit and make it so a drop in replacement engine from a metro would fit easily.

Going the kit route would prove them until they could actually sell finished cars.

Sadly they are trying to get big funding (government) before they actually do anything and then in the mean time juice the turnips they get in for daily expenses.
