So here I am. Greetings from New England.
Twenty or so years ago I was in the fiberglass biz. Was prototyping an electric VW-based kit car and gathering info on three-wheelers when the business disappeared in a *poof* of divorce. Last weekend the Elio was on display at a nearby mall so my sweetie and I drove over to check it out. Man, talk about a flashback! Have had the reverse trike bug since.
I'm drawn to the simplicity and efficiency of Morgan-style "tadpoles", and I've always enjoyed small cars. Not sure if my first effort will ever actually see pavement, but I've GOT to mess with a three-wheeler. Looks like I'm in for another learning curve. Have perused the forums here and appreciate so many guys willing to share their knowledge.
