Looking for Cobra Kit

[Ragarnok]

I just purchase a 1985 Corvette and plan to use it as a donor car for a Cobra build. I'm having trouble finding a kit! The shipping for online stores is way to much and I'm trying to do a budget build.
Let me know if you know of anyone selling fiberglass bodies because I need one by Feb 1st (Project day)

If you're looking for a body to fit your chassis, your options are very limited. There is only one company that sells bodies to fit the Corvette.

[Ragarnok]

Yeah so I've heard. I willing to modify the body so at this point it is just find a company to sell me one for a good price.

It's not just stretching the body to fit the Corvette. You are grossly underestimating what is required

X2, there is nothing easy or inexpensive like attempting to modify a Cobra body to fit on a Corvette chassis.


What are your fabrication skills like?
Are you planning to cut and shorten and narrow the corvette chassis?
What is your budget like?

[Ragarnok]

how so?

[Ragarnok]

My fabrication skills are okay, for that I would be relying on my dad he is very skilled.
I was hoping for a budget of 12000 including the donor car but its looking like its going to be $15,000.
I found a kit that exactly fit my corvette year for 6500. Including shipping and everything. At first this seemed like a big price but the way you guys are talking this might be the best route.
