replica car beginner advice please

[clankzh84]

So i'm starting to get into replica cars and i really want to try building one but i have no experience at all. All i know so far is that i would need a donor car and i would have to get the kit of the car that i want to replicate. It would be great if someone could tell me where to start and how to even build the replica (links to any manuals or instructions would be helpful). Cost is not too much of an issue but i would like to consider all the options available.

you can get a kit car magazine and it will show you what kits you can buy and what donor cars will need to be

Would it give me any specific instructions for building certain replicas or do i have to look somewhere else?

[Crvett69]

often they have articles about building a kit the magazine or reader is working on and you can usually buy just the instructions for the car you decide to build from kit maker along with a price list for the parts. this is assuming your building a real car not a model. if its a model your posting in wrong section

Will the information be suitable for someone who has no experience in car building or will it be too complex?

depending on the kit you buy it will require skill in fiberglassing, welding and usually extensive body work, not the best way to learn how to work on cars. also depends on how complete the kit is and how much you have to make yourself but will require tools and knowledge. pick up a magazine on kits and look through it and decide if its something you can tackle
