to prove it can be done,i've started building with my ten year old son a retro style rod (not a rat rod,they're being done to death right now).
when its done it will be his car so he's really excited about it all.
were attempting to build the entire body with parts off other cars and whatever we can get hold of.
its hopefully going to look vaguely like a 32 model a but heres the thing,we need parts and they need to be cheap.
were after a roof panel,austin mini or similar,maybe a even panda..... something with a flat front screen with screen surround (a posts still on)would be awsome like an sj jeep type .
we also need doors. the frame is bare (ish) so we can move things around a fair amount. we guess a suzuki sj or jimny set would be doable but
as we don't have any at the moment were open to offers.back doors with no rear wheel arch cuts outs are doable too. we don't really want anything curvy as old cars werent plus itll make things much harder to do. any spare sheet metal or box section would be cool too but thats very unlikely these days .
we are in north kent and the cheaper the parts are the better....free would be even better if the parts are in your way
doors with glass in would be great but not worried about any electrics etc.
any ideas or other potential parts welcome.
once things kick off i'll get a build thread up
