kit car info
i last posted jan 31st in regards to powerline speed&marine. not much
response so i dont know if thats good or bad.
this question probaably will sound kinda stupid but i am going to ask it.
i would like to build a fiberglass kit car. looking at 32 ford 3 window
coupe. while looking at the bodies it seems everyone has a chassis to
offer. i have checked my local bone-yards in northern indiana only
to find that a lot of the individual components are quickly becoming
extinct since a lot of folks are using these parts for various applications.
MY QUESTION:are there any current chassis`s out there that could be
utilized with minimal alterations to accept a body like i previously described. or are there any books or magazines that could be reccomended??
i am 56 years old and this is something i would really like to do however,
seeing my 401k go to he77 i need to try to keep costs down as much as
possible
anything and everything you can recommend will be greatly appreciated
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you go to www.hotrodders.com and search streetbeast. you'll see that's one company to stay away from.
I'm not sure what donor cars fit the 32. Here's a company that makes them.

I've had no dealings with any of these companies. These are just links.
I hope this helps.
You can do a search or "google" 32 ford kit and get alot of info.
