Thread: Kit car rant--Cobra vs. 'glas streetrod

Tweet

This subject is very familiar to me. The last 4 cars that I have built or owned have been powered by VW drive train but only 2 of them were a kit car. My last project was completely hand built right down to the mufflers and steering wheel but because it is powered by a mid-engine Porsche 914 motor and trans, people still ask "Is it a kit car". I just laugh and tell them yes. When they ask where they can buy one, I just tell them that I will sell them one. They ask what comes in the kit ,I just tell them How many sheets of aluminum and how many sticks of tubing comes in the kit. They usually just walk away looking confused.
Here's a picture of that project for those who are interested.
