Great to hear about the project. I sure it will be one of the experiences you both always remember.

You need to know (and we do if you would like a specific recommendation):
- time commitment
- budget
- desired use

These are the very minimum. A number here have mentioned some very good cars that come as rollers to almost a complete turnkey minus type of car. Sounds to me that you are looking for more of a 'car in a box' type of car. True kit car. The kind that shows up in a bunch of boxes!

I don't beleive any of them any more require extensive fabrication.

All of them can be built with all new parts even though many are designed and marketed with donor parts in mind.

There are MANY out there. Of the ones that you can get in kit forum(you can also get them complete) you may look at Factory Five, Unique and ERA. Those are all popular manufacturers of good reputation that offer a fine product. They are in order price wise as well.

Enjoy the time with your son...... and the build of course!
