My build quality standards are a little higher, but this looks like a do-able tinker project to rock the twisties with.

Over 800 hours in his garage....

and I don't know if it's a copywright violation if he doesn't sell it.

Here's a photo of the actual Atom, he's not too far off, but the Chasis/frame is theoretically a carbon copy if he truly followed the cad design that's supposed to be the same as used on the car.

Here's the Atom reviewed on Top Gear. If the copy can perform remotely like this, it would be well worth the effort.
