356 Coupe Replica - Where to Buy?

Post by Westy »

So I'm considering a 356 coupe replica, who has bought a shell, where from any positive and negative reviews/experiences.
Will a scubby engine fit in or best sticking with a flat4?

Early days yet but wanting to get it right.

Cheers,
Paul

I have a Martin & Walker shell and have designed a full space frame chassis for it with wishbone suspension front and rear.

Seen this in the flesh, real nice bit of kit. Pictures don't do it any justice.

Spyder-Finder that chassis looks like a serious piece of kit. I have a Martin & Walker shell I'm about to start building and would love to get more detail on your chassis. Being a new DDK member I can't PM you yet but please feel free to contact me.
