Default 1955 Porsche Spyder Chassis

Hey images/smilies/smile.gif

A colleague of mine is thinking of building a 1955 Spyder replica. He has a number of parts already, but needs the chassis. So far, we've been unable to find detailed plans of the chassis.

Anyone knows where one can be found or has one?

Most of the replicas are based off of VW Bugs.

But you'll want to get a replica kit.

I think what Spectre was saying is that most spyder replicas use beetle engines and parts.
