I did notice it .... didn't believe it the first go round either ....
.... as has been often stated, most everything involves a compromise .....flat bottom, that's great to hear .... as is often mentioned, in this area most things involve compromise .... I'm happy to give up some mileage to have outrigger front wheels and an automatic transmission ..... does your harvested steering column have an airbag ..?
You know what I believe? I believe your BEX is real....and it's worth my while following.30 liters/8 US gallons.
At 84.1 mpg, that's 672 miles range.
Yeah, nah, I don't believe it either
As I was de-structuring the prototype today, I took a picture because it reminded me of those cars cut in half for display at motor shows.
I also sat the new side on the chassis looking at differences and various measurements ....
Yes, why not.
Would have been terrible on hot days absorbing the increased heat from the road.
Fiberglass, if I can, will avoid that, less noise, a softer feel etc.

Looks like its coming along nice and that you are sticking to the general looks of the Elio. I think Paul did have a nice looking car idea.
Sometimes I have big wins that don't look so obvious.
The footwell is the area under the dash where your legs and feet go, of course where the pedals are.
I have been on the computer all afternoon, and moved tubes around to figure out how to make the footwell literally a 5 sided box, that can be built on the bench, and simply slid into place from the driver's area.
It's a real win to make life easier. The theoretical "box" is shown in purple here, though in real life it will need some holes, humps and bumps to mount various components, not least the brake master cylinder.

very innovative .... do you plan to secure it in place by tack welding, permanent welding, bolting or some other method ..???
I will use bolting as well as liberal amounts of polydimethylsiloxane, being as the 'box' will be fiberglass being attached to steel frame components.

A little ahead of the game but perhaps some ideas for advertising?
