Mine are all Waldo’s,, being a hobby, my day job comes first.
Only thing I’ve done over the past few weeks are these fenderskirts for a ’52 Chevy.

Congrats :exci ,
Maybe bondo can get some sleep now knowing who won it? :whistle:
If you’re gonna sell it when its finished a factory five roadster is tough to beat. Easy to unload.
I looked into building one a few years back and figured it would take around $30K to do with mostly new drivetrain stuff and make it nice.
My favorite is the Italia miata

What paint did you use to do the white on the interior of the door?
The mods don’t have to be to the exterior…..

I say do something popular,, easy to get parts for,, that you may actually be able to sell without loosing your @$$ when the time comes.
Do a fox body mustang and widen the fenders like an IMSA car.
A 3 series bimmer would look nice with the same treatment.
Do a civic but make it classy not wild.
VW GTI, make it subtle on the exterior and clean up the engine bay …..
Maybe a kit car based off a miata,,,
I think the quality of construction and attention to the details is what sets something apart from the crowd, more so than just making something wild.
