Oh my heavens yes. Hire someone to design a new chassis; lift, replace, repeat.
But it sounds entirely too practical for a bureaucracy with the depth and breadth of the US federal miasma.

The Federal government is absolutely incapable of doing anything with any sort of financial responsibility. I work for a company who's largest customer is the federal government (TSA) and the way they burn through cash is astonishing. I suppose I shouldn't complain as it keeps me in a well paid job, but as a tax payer it does bother me.
