Dynacorn shell and subframe or a good driver car

[fletcherscustoms]

I vote mike's 100%%%% , see the pics on my site of one of his car shells!! you can get the complete car paint ready with front clip and all metal for around $18K. Then all is left is running gear, suspension, interior, and paint

It states that you need subframe, glass, rear end and hardware. That would add quite a bit too for the build. I think I may be better off looking for a good driver and take it from there. Someone I know mentioned the dynacorn shell and just I would ask.

Thanks,

Weaver

I have seen the Dynacorn bodies before and after and I think the fit is terrible. Anytime you need to add 1"- 2" of body shims under the front fender is bad . Then you have the expense of the little things that you cant find. I would highly recommend buying a car that needs everything and go into it with the idea that your going to need to replace most of the panels. This is the way we build cars and we can ussually pick a decent shell up for $5000 hang all new sheet metal including a 1 piece floor and have about $10,000 in it before paint. Then you know what you have. The big thing to watch on buying a shell is the roof. If you ever have to replace the roof sheel you will understand what I'm talking about. Everything else is pretty easy. Hope this helps and by the way I'm a dealer for Ricks First Generation and I can buy those shells pretty reasonable and I'm still not using them. So that should tell you something.

I would go with Downs mfg fiberglass body,get a Morrison chassis to but it on and there you go.



The Dynacorn body is junk,it has along way to go to even fit nicely together,let alone fit great.

Plus I know in some states you need to register them as a kit car

What state do you live in? There are alot of cars out there still I know the prices have gone up but they are out there, look in ca, mt, or, wa, az, nm, and some of id, These are my best hunting grounds for clean metal, I do know where there is a clean rust free 69 Z28 shell original yellow paint but about 20 years ago some one decided to cut the firewall and complete floor pans out to make a Drag car But the complete front end is still bolted on it I think it even has rs option, I can find out but that car would be alot of work.

Also check out musclecarprojects.com bad part is he never keeps it up probably better to just call him, Neil 435-770-3337 he is about an hour drive from me a real great guy most of the stuff is fairly rust free but missing alot of the trim, I just purchased a 72 ss 402 chevelle from him for 2k It is quite complete but the 402 is gone but a real u code 402 car and original red on black, The orange heavy chevy on the site is very clean I think im going to buy it as well original paint hardley any rust... But I have been trying to pull the needle from my arm..... Too many. Give the guy a call he is a good guy he is a developer and for fun him and his friend take two 3 car haulers to nm and az and buy what ever projects they can find, He cant make any money from it the prices are to good.
