Welcome, you have a great plan. The worst feeling is getting started on a project and run out of parts or money to finnish it. Take your time and find a good quality body that has good thick fiberglass coating... And feel free to ask any and all questions and start a build thread  ::thumbup

Welcome to the site.

We can use more Diablo and Countach builders here and I'm looking forward to seeing your build diary once you've selected your project.

I bought my body from John and I'm currently building a chassis for it.  It's tough to decide who to go with, hopefully you will find a body soon.  Either way you go the NAERC chassis can be adapted to fit both the Murcielago and the Diablo.

gtxdon:
I've looked into a few of the manufacturers but it seems like Audi has squashed a lot of them. There's nothing local or even remotly close to Chicago. Seems to be a pretty wide gap in quality also. I looked at a couple of bodies that guys are trying to get rid of around here, but they were pretty beat up. One had the front bumper cut off. The bumper was cracked in a couple of places and part of it was missing. both front fenders were broken off about two thirds of the way up and the front bonnet was missing. The guy didn't know the manufacturer as he bought it from someone else, so I'm not sure if other aftermatket stuff could be adapted to complete the body. The 'glass work on the rest looked good though.
 The other body was cracked down the roof and part of the windshield pillar was missing. It looked like a chop gun job and was really wobbly. Jim Dinner suggested TRP and I've heard that John Watson has a high quality Mercie body, but I like the Diablo a lot. I'm still sorting through the chassis options right now, so I'm keeping my choices open on the body.
