I haven't given up. I've only been here a few years (4) but I'm in it to win it! I just wished I could use the facilities at Shreveport and get permission to use Paul's plans. I'd take a crew there and build my own darn Elio!
#1) It's 2019, so you've been here 5 years. #2) Getting the plans from Paul, good luck with that. #3) If he was going to sell kit cars, I'm sure he would have done it by now, but not to rain on your parade, ask him. As a matter of fact ask if he has considered selling plans or even kit cars. Then tell us what he says, I have never asked, but it's worth a shot, take it. Then tell us what he says. To get in touch, go to the Elio site, click on "Support" and ask the question, it's worth a shot. Then let us know what they say, I'm really curious. If I can help, just drop me a note.

Sounds like you're capable of building one offs and money's not an issue then you don't really need the ELIO plans. You can make a "similar" one without getting sued for trademark violation. Get a donor 3 cy. engine and let us know if your creation can achieve ELIO's HOLY GRAIL 84 mpg! ;)
