I've got a friend that runs a paint shop and I'm curious about the process of just having the panels sanded and painted. I know plastic tech has come a long way in the last 20 years but I wouldn't be surprised to see some stripey panels in the future. If the whole plastic outer shell comes apart...
I'll be very interested in seeing the results of the crash tests. I'm looking forward to the Slate as it's only 30'' longer than my 90s compact truck WITHOUT the downside of it being built like a rolling kleenex box!
I was considering the option, if I order one of the rear tops, to keep the seats out. That would still make it more like a little van instead of an isolated pickup bed, though, without some sort of divider.
I got mine in Saturday evening. Must have been a ton of entries because I couldn't even get my account set up till the following morning! Must have been swamped with signups!
