to modern looking sports cars

the one factor most have in common is light weight
and in many advanced suspensions and frames make potential performance impressive
especially when you generally have options on what engine and drive train components can be installed
just be sure you do extensive research, and talk to at LEAST 5 previous customers who have purchased KITS recently from any supplier, and if possible local owners of that kit car so you can look over the results (make sure they are from different states, you don,t want to talk with employees ) It helps to select a kit that uses easily obtained suspension and drive train components
EXAMPLE
from a c4 or c6 corvette, or late model mustang,and a fully welded sub frame, mounts , brakes,gauges, etc. and full instructions and easily purchased replacement quality body parts, if you get into an accident, before you get into any project because theres a few suppliers that market JUNK and incomplete kits or who are known for crappy or non-existent tech support and badly fitting components
 
I have toyed with the idea... But that will be for later...

For now, I have my sights set on a VW Karmann Ghia... Now if I just could figure a way to stuff a v8 in there and make it handle...
