Well as the chassis underneath all three of the cars linked to are pretty much straight from a 7, fabricating it all with the help of Ron Champion's book should just be "challenging" instead of "**censored** impossible"

Some companies are doing similar things already. RV Dynamics have moved to Sri Lanka for the cheaper labour costs to produce their cars.
