Looking to maybe use a corvette chassis and drivetrain. Just starting to explore it at this point and since I got so much good info from here on my father son project/sweap I though I would try you guys first.
Thanks

IMO the best around right now is 'Race Car Replicas' specifically the SLC. Not cheap at $40K plus but basically a Group 'C' racecar for the street.
They also have a number of other bodies for the same chassis, GT40, Lola t-70 coupe. They're also working on something called the GTA which will be a slick kit aimed toward the import folks.
I have a Factory Five GTM. For $20K you get a kit then you buy a wrecked C5 Corvette and strip the needed parts. You'll also need a Porsche G50 transmission.

From what I have heard from a lot of GTM owners is that it takes a LOT of body work and time to get the GTM right. One guy I met with one had $20k in just body work and paint. So you figure $21k for the kit $1.2k for A/c and $700 for the adapter, you are at $23k with no wheels or anything. Not talking against it. I even plan on building on myself one day, but got an SLC right now to work on, and I'm overseas so that's not happening for a few more months.
