Thanks 1985 CCX

Good points to think about.

No matter which boby I would use my chassis will be the same and will probably be a scratchbuilt from Chuck's drawings.

I have Mr Bruce option at $7500 with fast delivery and the coachbuilder at $30k for next January. Will the alloy worth $22,500 more when built? Yes I'm sure. More work yes but my labour is free.

My options on the frames are small. I want a ROUND tube frame for the look. So 2 options that I know.
Superformance/ShelbyCSX or Factory Five.
On a FFR I would have to modify it because I ABSOLUTELY want front leaf spring. I want the LOOK to be correct in all aspect and when you open the hood this is obvious. It is for ME.
Frame alone from FFR is $7500. Will any of my body options fit right on it ? NO, more mods !
Rear suspension I can live with it.

Buying a complete running 15 years old(canada rule) is very hard. Other than a new from HILLBANK at $135k that is STILL not exactly as I want it is not an option FOR NOW and NOT LEGAL to import.
The ONLY other car I saw for sale that I would buy is the red JCF owned by one of the member here.

That explain all my choices and options that motivate my decisions.
