Just an off-the-wall thought about written-off Priuses and classic cars

i'd rather have a cobra with an original drive train over a prius drive train.

 

hkmb, why does your info say 31 posts?

 

oh really? huh, something new every day.

 

most people must like his posts 31 with 314 likes

 

Just ask Bob (ammobob) about that.

But it does tell a story about the member...

 

No kidding Bra...

 

i thought you had a ton of posts. is there a total count anywhere?

 

To the OP I'd say, I almost never say it can't be done, because with enough time and effort I've seen some amazing things accomplished.

But in specific to this proposal I'd ask, What is your primary goal?

If your goal is simply to make an older or classic car, more reliable? I think there are far easier routes to achieve that end, than trying to turn a classic or older vehicle into a hybrid.

If your goal is to try to Frankenstein a Hybrid and a well liked classic vehicle, into something the world has never or rarely seen? Then the only way to do it...is to do it.

I suspect it would not necessarily be impossible, BUT clearly WOULD be very challenging. I'll admit at this point I'm NOT the person to ask about any specific approaches to this proposed project.

In short analogy, I would say the project you are proposing would be akin in engineering execution to climnbing Everest. Which is fine, if reaching the summit of Everest IS your goal.

But if your goal is just a nice climb and a good view? There are many less daunting climbs one can take..

 

He does in the politics section.
There doesn't seem to be publicly.

There was some issue, with trolls, spammers, I don't remember exactly, running up their post counts in FHOP to gain access to posting privileges locked to newcomers.

 

No problem with that, right? Sides, who am I to judge.

 

It wouldn't be stealthy that's for sure. See about 2:31

 

No direct link... here's a YT ID#... paste it to the YT page and search... NWS language.

I've built cars and have repaired two aircraft in my days breathing air... building it to be safe and sound is the real priority...

More importantly... if you do choose to build-it-yourself... video your work...

 

Not doing video on the Convertible project, but taking lots of pictures, and labeling every part...

delorean with prius guts!

 

I still have a problem with the doors though... I love the car's look... but hate the doors.

 

because of the gull wing operation, or because they might leak?
