So, You're Interested in Coupes!
I think everyone who loves a coupe has to have seen the classic '40-'41 Willy's coupe. If not check out the 1941 Willy's coupe at coupester.com. It was built using a fiberglass body. The only thing greater than owning and driving an old coupe, is knowing that you built it yourself. Finding an original coupe body can be hard, but there are companies out there that make fiberglass kits, fiberglass bodies, and body parts for most of the old models be it Ford, Chevy, Willy's, Studabaker, Plymouth, or any of the others.
There's companies out there that can supply a kit car for you, or, supplies the parts for one you may already be working on. If you're ordering parts from another country make sure you know a head of time if you can import the parts, what the extra cost will be, and what paper work you need before shipping.
A good source of information can be found on the Internet. Do a search for an auto forum discussing the make and model of your favorite coupe. These forums are a good place to get answers to your questions. Whether you're looking to build an original coupe, or a customized coupe, you can be assured that someone has already attempted it.
Whatever you decide build, original coupe, customized coupe, or something else, make sure you do the research and you will enjoy that much more. Nothing worries that a costly surprise.
