Fitting an aluminum body is not a straight forward task and takes a very specific skill set. Also, an aluminum body is going to cost you near or maybe more than a full kit from somewhere like Factory Five.

With regards to the other comments about not finishing it as a father son project. It's just a bit of advisement based on the number of at home projects many have seen never get finished. Building a car is a massive undertaking to do it right. We're wrapping up a restoration of my dad's 72 Firebird that started as a father/son project, were now 15+ years into it. All 3 of us are very skilled, with 2 of us being mechanical engineers and 1 being a machinist. Life and finances get in the way, next thing you know it's got an inch of dust on it.
