I'm going to reuse the original motor, trans, wheels, and manual brake setup. Leave it the stick height and put a fiberglass t-bucket on it. While looking for a real nice original body.

How about a speedster! Do a google search of images, find one that looks right to you then build something like it only cooler.

Welcome from Kansas.

I can find a lot of shells here, just can't seem to find the chassis to them.

Great find. I'm sure the guys here can help you find some sheet metal for a body. I like your idea except for the glass Ford body part. ;) I hope you enjoy it here. :)
