I think you are money ahead to find a malibu convertible that is in good shape and build what you want from there. The Dynacorn convertible bodies are around 15k, plus by the time you build a motor and everything else that is needed you could be looking around 50k just to build a clone. I've seen nice convertibles for 20 to 30k. Just take your time you will find one out there. Not to mention all the time you will have into trying to building one. Believe me I know what it takes to build one of these cars. 6 years and counting on mine.
