I agree on the width. Never too late. A flatbed version would be easy and increasing the height would be easy (I already proposed that) but he sized it for standard size sheet skins. The width is narrow because the designer went with outside wheels instead of having wheel wells so that the cargo area is a clean rectangular shape. We just went with his current CAD model to get a test mule running. I borrowed a chop saw and MIG welder then ordered a pile of steel tubing before shutdown figuring I wanted a fun garage project to get through this. The roller is pretty much done so now I get to the fun part of electrical stuff. Planning on HPEVS drive and Orion BMS, well-proven and made in the USA. I want to mock up a Ford Model T nose to put on it, it fits the character.
