There's big Federal money dangling just out of their reach. I think it has to do with with their doors.

More importantly for me, I'm looking for someone who wants to negotiate a group buy of full drivetrains and batteries and engineer a swap into Types I, II and III. I found out the battery pack only fills the first half of the backbone. I didn't put a tape on one but it looks like it would fit crosswise in the luggage space behind the back seat of a Beetle. Given the whole drivetrain and suspension, I think it could be a reversible bolt-in. Maybe some cutting of the inner fenders for the A-arms.

The Old World craftsmanship was eye-opening. Redneck as is gets with aluminum bomber seats.
