True that. Which is why I think Local Motors business model is disruptive.

Edit: inrekor™ | ultra lightweight sandwich panel technology. They promise:

  • lightweight solutions
  • design flexibility
  • rapid prototyping
  • low investment
Introduced to Ecomodder by Giovanni LiCalsi on 20140108 (and he hasn't posted since 2014050); their website is still alive, but Google News shows no news since 2011. They show a replacement chassis for the Atalanta a retro-revival marque in UK, but their Wikipedia page claims none shipped and an hand-beaten aluminum body over an ash frame. (Whoa.) Maybe they made that gas tank for Aston Martin.

Inrekor starts to sound like another Elio, but there exists at least one Chesil Speedster 356 clone on a composite flat-pack floorpan. As a proof of concept.
