It is drivable. I hope to have a video of it being driven around tomorrow.

Looks good. I presume everything left fits inside the Ghia contour (+11"). Do you have a plan to gut the Ghia shell and keep it's shape?What's the relationship between the Prius and Ghia door pillar?

So what's the plan for the differing wheelbases? I assume you're going to shorten the Prius chassis, since trying to lengthen a Ghia seems like it would be much harder? Curves everywhere!

I have lived near an airport for 6 years, 2 of them basically in front of a runway. Couldn't spot the resemblance between an airport tug and the Prius floor pan. |

IIRC wasn't the APC in "Aliens" an airport tug? And they had to remove thousands and thousands of pounds of ballast and still was pretty damned heavy.

Bad example. The one I was thinking of was car-sized. It had an [Oldsmobile?] V-8 side-by-side with an open driver's seat. Maybe 32" tires so it was ~3ft tall overall.
Looks like, not weighs like.
