ok, so i had this crazy dream last night. i did a quick search but got nothing, ive seen the video online of the amd guys and some other shop, cant remember, starting to build a wing car clone on their jig, (only did floors and frame rails in that vid i saw, cant find more progress vids on it though) but in a story i read from that same build they do have a donor car sitting near by (not sure if they used parts or just for measurements?)
weve all seen the dynacorn mustang shells, camaros, chevy trucks all that, and weve all seen some of the incredible builds on here where they replace sooooo much of the sheet metal theres not much left of the original car. especially the builds where everything from the rear seat/trunk divider back to the bumper is brand new because it was hit or rotted to nothingness.
so has anyone ever put one of everything into their AMD shopping cart to build say, a 69 charger, or a roadrunner superbee, whatever your pleasure is? if you took every replacement part made would you have enough to finish at least the body? if not, what parts would you have to cut out of a donor to finish it. obviously a donor would be the easy way to finish everything else, trim dash consoles, drivetrain etc. but even still, how far could you get with strictly aftermarket repro parts?
there are ways of getting the info to build a great jig to line everything up. start at the bottom and just start clamping, cleco's or zip screws and spot welding your way up.
and at least here in NH, you can register a custom scratch built car, just get it inspected and the state can assign you a vin, so you could still register it here no problem and enjoy your one of a kind, brand new classic b body. Just a neat thought at least
