Boy the peek under the hood picture looks like you could drive it away.
The upper radiator "hose" looks like it could use some finishing work.

That's an interesting hood hinge / spring mechanism.
with the hinge for the hood bolted in place it makes sense to me that they don't plan to remove the engine again .... on the other hand, with the frame appearing to not be coated with any sort of rust protection, it makes sense to me that they have to remove the engine again ....

There is no AC condenser installed yet.with the hinge for the hood bolted in place it makes sense to me that they don't plan to remove the engine again .... on the other hand, with the frame appearing to not be coated with any sort of rust protection, it makes sense to me that they have to remove the engine again ....

I wonder how much of that under the hood/hinge will make it to the production model (metal or plastic cooling parts/radiator end tanks etc.)

I imagine the radiator will have plastic tanks. There probably isn't an off-the-shelf radiator that fits the Elio, so they have to fab them for the prototypes.
