Have you ever thought of a Pietenpol?

Dear Jim,

It's not that it hasn't been thought of but more that a Piet is
addressing an entirely different 'mission.'

The VP1 is a single-place, VW-powered machine that can be built for a
fraction of the price of a Piet. The Pietenpohl is a two-place
battleship (1" sq longerons!) designed to be powered by an engine from
a Model A Ford. Even when powered by something else it is a LONG way
from a minimum-cost machine.
