Hello everyone, names Johnny, I am from Western MA. I have always been into cars my whole life. I had joined a autobody/welding school and removed myself after the autobody and welding was completed, they had more courses after that had no interest with me so i stayed working at a custom autobody shop and got paid while i learned, so that worked out, saving me the extra 20k the school would of charged me if i stayed,  i then joined the army as a welder and metal worker and now im out , got back from iraq after a 15 month deployment and 6 mo later i was released due to medical problems  ( got out oct of 2008 ), but yeah, as for cars go,  i can draw well and ive always been drawing concept cars and wanting to create one since i was very very young, legos and sketches and sutch,  as for my project i want to start,  i just dont know specs, i can weld anything so that wouldnt be a issue.
i have the main look of the car drawn out as for how i want my kit car to look.
so now what steps do i need to do since i have the outside completed,

specs, width, size, height, its a rear engine ( mid engine i should say ) and its going to be street legal but also meant for the track. picture a lemans series road car as for width, length, weight ( around that ), ride height, regular height ( chassis ), etc.


I know alot of you have messed with kit cars and or creating your own, so i'd like some feed back. ill post up a pic of the concept i whipped up over the last few years of quick sketches here and there, nice meeting you all!!  

Street legal!  I'm in CT, it is pretty hard to title and register a vehicle here, I think MA will give you similar problems.  You're at a good spot however (rather then buying a partially completed project). Keep all receipts and document EVERYTHING you buy, modify, or make.  The state inspectors can be very tough before assigning a VIN when applying for a title.  

can you tell me what kind of kitcar i have? fiberglass,round sunkback headlights,doors are plexiglass that lift up,motor in rear,vw chassis,kinda like bradley gt,kinda like shelby cobra.  

with mine it was looked by the highway patrol,they make sure everything worked,
had me start it up,went inside told them it was a self made vehicle,they ask the value of the car and for the slip from the trooper saying it passed.and you get sent a title in 30 days.it is very easy also you get a vin mumber plate,and vin
number sticker.its that easy.  

K, thanks for the info guys and streetpro. In my design i do plan on making it legit for rules and regs as for inspection goes. Ill be buying my parts, components from Jegs or Summitracing. Ill be having the frame built and i will be doing the assembly of the components and modifications if need be and also ill be making the mold for the body, i know fiberglass from the army. so that helps tremendously but i dont know how to make major pieces, just patch damaged exisiting fiberglass. so ill have to research that. any ideas, tips, ill post up a picture of the sketches soon once i can get a chance to take some pictures of them and send them to my verizon picture place then i can add them on here.
