Hi
This was what a few us talked about some time ago. However, the Kirkhams note on their site that the attaching of the body to the chassis was one of the more difficult tasks.
I will possibly be corrected here, but I think Kirkham's bring the body in attached to the chassis from Poland already done/completed. (Dave will come on with some correction?)
I guess if you had and could get the body only sitting on the floor here and then built the chassis to fit. That may work. I see your point.
From memory the body/chassis was somewhere in the US dollars range of $39,000.
David from down in Victoria had a John Olsen car from New Zealand prior to getting his current AC. This was all aluminium.
Both were at the Camberwell Cobra show earlier this year.
Possibly heading off in the direction that 'Tinker51's' friend may not want to head, but this is an option to have a body built in New Zealand in aluminium.
Import boot, bonnet and doors and then follow with front and rear clip cut through sills. Sounds like old car parts and panels to me.
You would think that I had looked into this? New Zealand dollars not bad either.
Cheers
