would just bolt onto. Then somebody else needs to construct molds
for
making pretty little bodies, maybe something like an early '50s
SIATA....
Pardon me, I must have been daydreaming again.
No, not really. There's an outfit in the UK that makes complete new
bodyshells for a few popular British sports cars (MGB and Spridget,
at least). British Heritage or something like that. They obtained
all
of the old tooling from the original works and make a relatively small
number of shells each year from modern, high-quality steel.

What about the Ereminas TZ1 replica? It's intended for just what
you're
talking about - light weight, exotic looks, and intended to be used
with
the drive train from a donor car to make it all work.
