There would be no challenge in that, if I were to build a car it would be easy to get everything right because nothing would be impossible. Getting an original to work without cutting or welding is a real challenge. It is so much fun telling people that it is real (sorry REAL 1) and watching their faces when they realize it is. That is probably the most fun you could have besides running it. If I had chosen to build something it would have been a mid engine GT-40 with light weight components. Most people have never actually seen an original car especially if they are not really into museums or historic racing. They are very enthusiastic about seeing it run. I have a blast at Goodguys events because you get older people who know what it is and young ones who want to know what it is.
