Work a deal with a fiberglass company to produce a body for your chassis that would give you a lower cost of entry for a wider market....possibly with Aluminum hoods/doors/ trunks that would lend the replica the look and feel of an original and all of the bits/pieces/billets in the suspension/chassis that makes your cars the great drivers they are.

One man's opinions,

Tony R.
The interest in the Coupes was way more than I figured! As for fiberglass...well, that is not us. We will leave that to others. We work in aluminum.
