What car is there a lot of modifications and performance parts for? Ford Model T > What car is there a lot of modifications and performance parts for? honda civic > Ford Model T > >> What car is there a lot of modifications and performance parts for? Is there any specifics about the Honda for which it would be best? I would like to have eith a front wheel drive car with around 300Hp or a all wheel drive car with around 400Hp if not more than that. So are there any cars that this is feasible with that isn't brand new. I don't want to have to spend $30,000 just to buy the car in the first place and then stick another $20,000 in it to make it look and perform how I want.

I don't want an extremely old car. I would prefer atleast a 1990 or newer. Something I more familiar with. > Not really. I don't want an extremely old car. I would prefer atleast a > 1990 or newer. Something I more familiar with. You use the body from the model T, but the suspension and drive train is from a more modern car. Jeff Where would I find the body of a model T in a good shape? Won't I have to basically redo everything though? Do you know how much it would approximately cost to completely redo a Nissan 240sx? And I'm talking about redoing it with the best of everything possible for it to get the best out of it. You don't want to use an original one, they are probably too rare these days, too expensive and would probably need a lot of work to make it look right, but there are lots of alternatives. http://www.tperformance.com/street_rod_store/bodies/1923_anniversary_t_body/ http://www.rootlieb.com/html_files/mt_bdy_hw/mt_bdy.html If I had the time, money and a place to do it I'd LOVE to build a T-Bucket Roadster, and just to confuse everyone I'd put a warmed up 289 in it... a STUDEBAKER 289<G>.
