Slate - As a Kit Car

[suineg]

I have been thinking for a while about Miata's and the Fiero as kit cars. Drop a shell on it after you strip it down, throw some other options inside to try and bring it all together and off you drive in your Fauxrari.

With a cheap enough price on the Slate, engineering drawings readily available, and a shell you can feel good about taking off and storing, is this going to be a strong option? I wish we could order it without the body if this starts to become a thing but I would bet regulations don't allow for that.

I'm thinking a kit for a Lambo LM002 replica (2-door though).

Now that is a unique option I could get down with!

step one - buy Slate
step two - strip body
step three - sell panels on ebay to idiots like me that want spares to do awesome/terrible things to them
step four - use ebay money to help pay for Fauxrari kit
step five - buy me a beer for helping you work through the problem

Something like this would be a blast. I've always loved 32-34 fords.

I've built factory five kit cars and i SOOO wish they had a good electric option. Maybe this is the way!

I'm thinking a 40's or 50s pickup might work best with the width of the front end. A 40 ford or a 45 chevy would be so awesome, or maybe a 56 ford.

A friend of mine converted a Pontiac Fiero (remember those?) into a Lamborghini kit car. It gets a lot of attention. Maybe we can covert a Slate into a 2-door Ineos?
