Quote from: "rbuckingham"Thought so, I know it's been running before but the lack of subframe is what i think the main issue is. Best to speak to Paul at woodsport as he started the whole thing.
Thanks bud

It would make a very interesting car once done. Nothing that can't be done if you have the skills. Are you a mechanic by trade? If so shouldn't be too hard. Obviously there is a lot to consider and not easy by any means. But the reason I ask is because for an enthusiast like myself  (although I know a fair but) it's a massive undertaking. You would need good tools, good fabrication skills and to be able to weld at a minimum.
