You've got some mad skills Arilea!
Oh boy, I love a challenge. IF I'm allowed to go completely mad, what would I do?You've got some mad skills Arilea!
Oh yea! I have something in mind. Just for fun, make a wild ass guess, what is it? I'll post it back here when done.
Be brave, what would YOU do if you were told to waist 100k on custom Elio mad-max mods?
( Play the Skunk-Works game! < aka SR71 >, if you say it, I might just illustrate it! )

Well, If we're not talking about weaponizing it to take out hostile highway/byway bogies, and knowing you're a body-mod wizard, I'm going with maybe a lay down, head forward design...kind of like a Tron motorcycle ['cept 3-wheeled]. Can't wait to see what you came up with, Ari!
Cool thought!, Frankly, I already did something like that with a scooter drive in a small metal model.Well, If we're not talking about weaponizing it to take out hostile highway/byway bogies, and knowing you're a body-mod wizard, I'm going with maybe a lay down, head forward design...kind of like a Tron motorcycle ['cept 3-wheeled].

I'll have to take a photo of the physical toy, just saw it Sunday under a pile of nuts, bolts, bits and pieces.
But that's a good point for the mad-max in us all, how to do that to an actual Elio?, hmmmm. Yes, I'll gurgitate on that a bit. The steering is a problem, for a good 'prone position' the steering needs to be below the chest. And then, how much of the chassis/body should be chopped?

Cool Tron toy, and definitely cute grandson (a costume that would definitely suit my own), but what is that awesome looking concept you have on the wall?
Oh that's a morph extension from another 4 wheel concept I found online. You know how I think, any style in 4 wheels can be cast into 3.
The other trick is intersecting. So this is my mad-mind idea of the moment, intersecting my Atlantric on the Elio. Here's step 1 below.
Surprisingly, It indicates a kit mod is possible. So I'll finish this out to a logical conclusion, and see what we will see....

Cool! Now would your Alantric body dimensionally fit on a stripped Elio chassis? Might be a good reason to reserve another Elio, or see if they cut you a deal on [since you've got 'connections'] chassis/drivetrain.
It would seem that a full Atlantric body can't from my effort this morning. However, I see something forming that is quite similar to a full Atlantric. And so it's easier and cheaper than a full body upgrade.
Very interestingly, it's coming out structurally like a super fancy saddle bag accessory at the moment, but it will look like a full body change. It will not be possible to use without also getting the jump-in design that G1 wanted, so the Elio Super mod will be required to accept this SuperSected mod. And that is definitely a huge visual change to the entire car, all done in 'modder' kits. One may not even recognize it as a Elio donor car.
