Hi!
I have almost had my heart set on a GT40 kit now! I've always, and I mean always, loved the GT! And now that I was begining to think about building a car of my own, from scratch, and using the 1976 Opel Kadett body (I have that car already, and I love that one too, but not in the same way as the GT40!) I came to think about building a kit car instead!
The question is, which kit should I choose? I have, dispite my young age of 20, a fair amount of hours in the garage! Since I was sixteen I'd say it's an awerage of 2-3 hours per week, so I think I can manage a kit that's abit more difficult! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif And modifying the chassies or suspension to get "special" parts in is something I can do aswell!
Now, I live in Sweden so a kit from Europe would be nice, if the american kits aren't a whole lot cheaper ofcourse! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Becouse cost is something I'd like to keep down.. It won't be a replica either! It'll be a semirace car I think, modern seats, rollcage, 6-point seatbelts, probably a 351 Cleveland engine pushing somewhat 4-500BHP with fuel injection and so on! My goal is to outrun a specific 8.7 litre Hemi powered Pantera /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif But maybe not the first time out on tha track /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
The cheapest I have found (now I have only found 4 or was it 5 kit manufacure's total) was this one: http://www.tornadosportscars.com/
Does anyone know how the finish is in that one? And every thing else that can be good to know! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I could very well pay more for better finish, question is what you recomend? I'm open for sugestions!
