Gary,
The current plan is to have the body and the frame seperate. My engineers in Poland have already figured this one out. They say it will take 2-4 guys aobut 1/2 hour to take the body off. There will be no problem with sending the body out to be painted and working on the frame/chassis and suspension while it is getting painted.
The body will be bonded to the frame, but the frame will be able to come apart with slip-fit joints and bolts in various places. That way you get the rigidity of a bonded body, with the ease of removal of a free standing body. Makes assembly 1000 times easier.
Curiously, why are so many of our current customers interested in these cars? They are really not who I had in mind when we came up with this. (Not that I think that is bad, mind you. I just never really thought our current customers would be interested in this as they already have a car in the garage.)
