I recently had some very bad luck and sustained some bad damage to the left side of my car's body, and was thinking I may just want an entirely new body. Would I be able to fit some great looking old school body on? What are my options? I am fairly young and not insanely knowledgable, but I understand it would need to work with the innards, and the chassis of my car?
Anybody's say would be greatly appreciated, or even suggestions for what would look good, budget is no issue.
