Newest Project
 

Hey everyone.

Donnie here in North Carolina . Just wanted to share my newest project. Its a Bradley GT2 that I purchased for $500 US. I recently changed my website brand from priceofhistoys.com to fiberclassics.org and as part of that switch I will be doing a full tutorial on how you can build on of these for $2500 USD.

The goal is to show people that you can build a really cool kit car that will be fun to drive with a little investment. Because kit cars in general seem to be fading in the US it is my hope to get at least a handful of people fired up.

Never seen one of these got a bits of different cars in the design

Look forward to it...good luck

Thanks!

Bradley Automotive was one of the more popular kit car companies in the USA. They made almost 10,000 of the bradley gt and 500-1000 of the GT2 .

The GT2 was their idea of giving a kit car more of a production car feel.

Looks like quite a challenge - good luck!

Are those car seats or armchairs I see in the picture of the interior ? :)

Dave

HAHAHA. Those are seats.

Not a challenge at all. Remove the body, clean up the chassis, paint body, finish interior, etc.

Once I start I figure It will be on the road come spring.

I REALLY LIKE SOME OF THE AMERICAN OFFERINGS FROM THE 70'S AND 80'S...They have a quirkyness about them that is quite retro nowadays ...

That looks like a Beetle based car if the gearstick is anything to go by ...

I had a half Beetle , half subframed Manta Montage with a Renault V6 in it years ago that was imported from the U.S. I loved that car ...

That is correct. It is a VW Bug based Car.

Looks like fun :D
Glad to see you are still actively working on kits!
Does it have an engine in it?
Munky(king) here in MN.

Hey munky. Good to see ya. I build 1-2 a year just don't say much. This one has a horrible little 1500cc

Looks to be a great project for very little $$$.
Absolutely loving the alloys. Seems like they were quite popular when these kits came around but you rarely see them these days.
It's going to be a looker on those for sure!

Saw this and immediately thought that you would find this interesting...
Shades of classic corvette and Cadzilla all rolled into one -
