My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

I hope the LS3 version is a little beefier....

This will allow me to produce them as a separate modular item, then fit them later, allowing for modification in case of different engines/transmissions such as an EV driveline or 6.2 LS3 Chev V8.

This statement made me snort

I know you started this as a challenge to see if you could make it to production before elio.
Who is next on your horizon. It looks like aptera is more or less about where elio was when you started this process. Just wondering anyone else out there you are keeping an eye on.

Nope, I thought Elio were done for, done and gone, and I still think their ICE is.

I saw an opportunity to make use of their awareness creation and marketing is all.

Not at all, there's enough in getting this done for a while yet.

I would still like to do a trike though, the prices of these things are outrageous;

Just curious as to what your goals are for the dash/controls. Custom dash with standard cluster? GPS Map system? Glovebox? Just a basic idea please.

Controls are typical OEM steering column, simple dash likely with OEM cluster.

No idea on glovebox at this moment until an aircon is setup.

No to GPS map, ice machine, mini bar and massage seats, this is a budget car.

So you're saying there won't be a self-driving option? Oh No!

? No, I didn't say that, of course you can drive it yourself.

Laser cut and folded the A pillar load plates today.

These spread the load of the A pillars into the floor sills.

Don't mind the simple bolts used for the moment.
