A race-car isn't a bad idea, IMHO!

Just curious...to whom would we refer the OP if he wanted someone to build a frame for just that purpose...I know there is Mr. Bruce, but aren't there other sources for chassis without the bodies (no disrespect for Mr. Bruce intended, I'm just curious about other sources, too)?
In the past various companies would sell chassis plans...the Kelmark GT (a "Dino replica"...sort of...  ) comes to mind, which was originally designed to fit a shortened VW floorpan, but when built with the "Olds Toronado" powertrain required a purpose built frame...Kelmark sold plans for those frames.
Seems such a shame to see it sit unused...or even cut up for wall art...if it could be built and make someone happy who does not share our passion/quest for detail, proportions and originality. Keep in mind that the first Arntz Cobra replicas I ever saw were made to be built on a VW chassis (yeah, I know...that's WAAAAAY back in the late '60s/early '70s and we've come a long way since then).
Cheers!
