Just a thought -- the metalwork in shaping the body panels may be one of the tougher parts of the project. I've always thought it would be fun to build my own car, but I'd thought of something more like a Jeep-type body for ease of fabrication. What kind of frame would you be using? Ladder? Perimeter? Where would you get the metal for this project?

I'd say go nuts, at least design it. Designing is a lot of fun, and you'll certainly learn a lot in the process. If you actually build a car, no-one will be able to question your user title .
