Chevrolet Corvette C1 Build

[dantoms]

Hi All,

Apologies for a complete newbie post, but kit cars have always been a great passion of mine (from a spectator's end at least) and now that time (and to a certain extent, financial constraints!) permits I am finally looking to take the plunge on a build.

Since childhood myself and my father spoke about building a car, and now that I have a son of my own we are looking to set the 'wheels in motion', but of course haven't chosen to make things easy for ourselves, and decided to build a C1.

Basically, the long and the short of the post is 'does anyone have any advise at all?'. We're both 'fairly' mechanically minded, but have never undertaken such a challenge and would greatly welcome recommendations on how to go about sourcing/ manufacturing a chasis, which engine to use....basically explain like i'm 5 if at all possible!

We're looking at the following as the basis for the body;

Thinking of a budget not exceeding £20-25K.

Thanks in advance all, have a great day!
