Welcome back! No worries about the pics....post when ready. That whole bonnet/nose job's gotta take sometime to put together and be under compliance but I'm sure it'll look fantastic when you're done with it. I'm hoping to see your completed BEX proto next year so.....Happy New Year.

...(a piece of tube) to hold the wheels the same distance apart. A bit like a trailer axle and wheels if you like. This is to slip under the front nose body work, to position the wheels in order to make wheel covers and finish the nose. I might have taken a picture had I had my phone with me ....

Sounds like true hot rodder "run whut ya brung" tradition... I looked at the Corvair mid-engine conversion as well (even bought Corvair for the project) but never got to complete the project... Life happens... One of the other GT-40 kit cars of that era was the Avenger GT made by FiberFab... I...

OK, I have posted about the car before, a few times, but here it is again. When I was in the service, Air Force around 1973, I owned a 1970 Toyota Corona. I made a rooky mistake, skip the embarrassing details, and I destroyed the rings in that 1600cc engine. So what to do with it? I noticed...

LOL, fur real! Yep, the Aptera is a down-town-city-boy car, born and bred! There are even a number of 'cross-over's that can't take too many 6" pot-holes.

No way those wheel covers would ever survive the roads up here, from loose crushed 1 1/2" stone roads to 6" deep potholes, they would have to be bobbed a fair amount (which wouldnt look so bad). Plus the usual dead deer and bear in the roads as obstacles, pieces of exploded tires, etc. Now...

None of this matters until we see real world numbers and according to an accepted spec. I guess what bothers me is I have to live by a different standard. I sell a piece of equipment I designed and built, it must get the numbers that the customer asks for. Paul never did that. It's easy to make...

I know you're bored with steering updates, more me than you, but now it's pretty much all done, and that includes items such as driving position, and the ability to adjust the steering wheel up and down, and in and out to find a comfortable driving position. I am happy it retains 90% "off the...

There's a good chance I'll keep mine 100% stock. So even if it comes standard with plastic wheel covers, that's what mine will run on. I'm sort of a purist – when it comes to vehicles. I don't think I've ever modified anything. I guess I just like to keep the vehicles original, even if the...

I agree in principle: Is it too much for Paul to tell us his casino was legit, the cards weren’t marked and the dice weren’t weighted? Instead he has chosen to say nothing and ignore us. Many people ‘gambled’ and lost; heck, every patron lost except maybe a few that made money as the...

It was a DREAM & A GAMBLE from the beginning!....PERIOD !...You lost....I lost...get over it...when you gamble ( like in Vegas ) you don't sue them because you didn't win.....I settled for a Nissan with less than 1/2 the gas mileage expected...besides WHO really wants to dodge manhole covers...

What computer modeling software did Elio use? There's more than one and some have proprietary software. Plus, Elio has said lots of things and down the road we have found out that they have not turned out very well. For example: -Multitude of Production dates -Space Frame Chassis -SMC Body...

...They said they were close and then started doing a lot of rework to try to get the mileage up. Heck, they even made different styles of wheel covers trying to up the mileage. That was tough. I'd love to see an Elio go through the EPA tests and get a real-world number. Heck, I'd like to...

I've sat in both the grey and the orange Elio show cars. And walked around them. And looked under the hoods. And laid on the ground and examined the undersides. Also have sat in or driven about half the cars on the list. Shall we say that you and I came to different conclusions? I would...

...I’m aware of the inexpensive cars. In my book, over priced for stripped down versions. The kind that has the paper thin plastic wheel covers and the plugs covering all of the holes where the options go. They scream cheap and inferior. You can spot them a mile away. Inside and out.... no...

Congrats! After reading your post, I’m passing this on to you! :)

I'm the most technically savvy person on the planet because i claim I am. With that, when i bought my VW, I sat outside of it and spent 2 hours reading the owners manual. Not that I needed to do that because I'm so superior but I did it because I was just bored. With my boredom I discovered...

Well, that was a fun little read!

Experienced drivers have a higher measure of acceptance and on that end, it's kinda funny how you could go all-in for 3 ELIO 3wheeler without having drive tested it in different conditions (snow, gravel, crash worthiness, CG issues, 4 wheels vs 3, etc.) ??? US city freeways does not scare me at...

...off white during the day and can be a couple of different glow colors (your choice). In addition, I want extra lighting on the front wheel covers. https://shop.thecoatingstore.com/Burnt-Orange-Metallic-Basecoat-Clearcoat-Car-Paint-Kit-MGCO207-BCCKIT.htm...
