Hello!
Since months I was playing with the idea, why do we don't use (or barely) the Technic compatible Bionicle, Hero Factory, Buildable Figures parts here, like for example:

and so on.
We see luckily more and more complex bodywork on supercars, my guess with all of these ball joints we could refine the angles, as this joint system is more forgiving.
We have joints on them to connect to regular Technic parts, so there is a way to integrate them, even just to add a strange angle for a technic panels. I am sure, my buggy's bodywork would also have a more stable construction with these parts, though I haven't tried yet.
To be honest, I wanted to build such a vehicle, but thanks for the brilliant weather, I rather go out with my bicycle, my current projects are also on hold...
So I decided to throw the idea for the community, maybe some will think about it, and can make advantage. Maybe just a dead end street.
Thoughts, references? Or just save the idea, maybe it comes once handy.
Happy build!
