Not that I have any time nor money, I was just curious;
somewhere down the road I think it would be awesome to do a late 50’s corvette convertible with an LSx swap and recent vette suspension/brakes
anyone know of kit car companies to get the frame/body/interior?
Id rock this. Search google i just checked and found a shitload ofinfo.
More info on this car…

google is your friend.
I’m also interested in a kit car and plan on starting a lotus7 build sometime in the next year.
yea I saw that too, c4 brakes/suspension etc.
it referenced a reputable manufacturer, I was seeing if people had more info, or other options

I did google it, and it did not yield very concise results.
That’s odd. My friend was googling corvette kit cars during school…maybe it was a cobra kit car… I know there was a site he found that was good. If I get I’ll link you.
The hottest swap ever would be a 69 camaro with the guts of a new Z06 :tspry:
Seems like a lot of money to spend for something that really wouldn’t hold any real world value. Not that the concept isn’t good or anything, but unless you got a lot of money to burn…
werd.
over on the locost forums there is a guy that is making and selling frames for 1k. i was thinking about buying one of those instead of dealing with building my own. i think it would save a ton of time.
x3
I saw that also. I’m very tempted about that and might order one, but I’m not sure how long he’s going to making them. First I need to know which donor I’m going to use. Need to start patrolling the junkyard.
If you don’t have a welder/don’t know someone to borrow one from, and you have no welding experience, the safest thing to do would be to order one.
$1k is very affordable for a frame, compared to alot of companies.
I have an interest in all cars. i also have various niches i would like to fill in my car collection. already have a couple collectors cars, a nice dd, and a nice sportbike, and i want a convertible. doesn’t interest me much to get a z3 or a s2k, or any other recent car I can think of. and I’ve always liked old vettes. the only other competition for it would be a 427 cobra replica.
this would not be for ~4 or so years. I have to buy a few houses before I dump that kind of money into another toy. just seeing what’s out there
