I was afraid you guys would say that.
A little more about my situation, I have basically no budget at all. I do however have good woodworking skills and tools. I'm thinking of scratch building an oversized touring body from wood and actually skinning it in 1/2 to 3/4 inch scrap hardwood from pallets. I'm well aware of the concern of the pesticides used on pallets and will take the proper precautions when working with it.
As I plan the body build in my mind I keep coming back to needing the frame prior to the building the body.
I came across a Luv locally here in NC for $500 and I think I could probably swing that. I just can't see being able to find a proper frame, build the brake, steering and suspension systems for anywhere near that.
My plan would be that once it is a roller, I could bring in a partner to help pay for the rest. Realistically I'm well over a year from even getting to that point and maybe my situation will be better then.
I realize it would be a bastard car, but isn't another T-Bucket on the road, even on a Luv frame, better than not at all?
Ideas and suggestions appreciated!!!
