Just mocking up at the moment but a 32 coupe body will fit over an Indy chassis

Did you find that chassis next to the titanic?

Can't see them will have to wait untill i get home.

just a bit of surface rust and thanks for the input

the chassis is a little bit different than a normal indy as it was built to take a v8 with 4wd many years ago by martin keenan so is a bit fatter in the middle so a stock 32 will fit an indy with no cutting at the front like i have had to do.

the only major mod is to cut 6"out of the rear of the body to retain the normal seven seating position

I quite like that

Where do you get the bodywork from?

froggy - 27/9/11 at 09:10 PM

I got the body , nose ,rear arches and hard top for £450 of the bay last year and in reality the only bits I can use are the tub and front grill as I will have to make rear arches and a Bonnet to suit the new shorter body .

froggy that looks great, do you have a build thread detailing the rebody?

kj - 28/9/11 at 06:55 AM

My re body is a 356 speedster.
