Hot Rods ##### Kit car I would like to build #####

Hey, I got one of those already ***embled and for sale.

 

I hate the word kit car, prefer the word reproduction car!

 

Where can I order one?

 

is that Dan Woods in the picture?

 

I hace a friend that calls mine a "kit car" just to tease me.

 

1-800-SPEEDWAY,,,,,

 

I believe so.

 

Those headlights....ugh. But I like that layed down coil spring/bellcrank front suspension.

 

No Grizzly Adams..................................... sorry, to easy.

 

That's no Speedway kit.

 

I'm thinkng that back end is going to drag just a little bit.....

 

That '15 T body [sectioned/raised rear] is still available [I think] from California Custom Roadster for around a grand..

Nope.

****, man, all cars go together like kits, if you plan it right. Some folks don't the means or retirement schedule to travel hundreds of miles to buy **** they'll have to refurbish and hope it'll work. Doesn't down grade their build any.

 

My top three a****st kit cars:


Lotus 6

Dragmaster from Carlsbad, California

Dragmaster street legal tube frame roadster

No particular order, still missing one picture.

 

If you're posting pictures of Sevens then here's my O/T kit car;

 

I've often thought a '53 '54 Corvette Kit would fun. Just buy a junk '54 Chevy and narrow and shorten the frame and put the fibergl*** body on it. Probably only cost a few thousand $s.

Wish someone would re-release the Devin sports cars from the '50s, I might just add one to my to do list.

 

Here is what you end up with after you put together one of Dan Woods' "kits".

I dislike the term "kit car" also.....but I guess many T-buckets, Lotus 7 clones and Cobra clones are.

 

I woulda guessed that "kit" would require a Jag rearend. I'd probably go out of the box and use one.

 

Im not sure if the seven came as a kit or a complete car, but I know the six could be hat both ways, because of an British tax issue.

And replica cobra's are, original was turn key.

 

I've always wanted to build a Speedway T bucket just for the simplicity of it.

Would probably change the headlights, and build a slightly more conservative top, but overall this is a slick little hot rod. Oh, and I would also install a naugahyde interior....never understood using fabric upholstery in a roadster.

 

I thought those damn things were Dune Buggys
