Or, find a candidate car with body-on-frame design, such as a late seventies GM midsize, or even a Chevy S-10 pickup, and use that as a foundation for the body.
Or, build your own old-school kit car, using a old VW Beetle floorpan.
If you plan a very tapered front end, not having an engine to work around is helpful.

Thanks
I do understand that it would be a lot easier to use a car already built, or add on to an existing frame, but I am trying to avoid that for a few reasons. I may try to use the design for a frame to make it, but I don't think I would take a frame off of another vehicle, because I am trying to learn more about metal working, and building my own frame would allow for more flexibility with the size of the vehicle.
And I think that there will be a lot of value in creating your own vehicle, rather than using another, because you know all of the intricacies of the vehicle. But the main reason I want to stick with the Maybach is because I think it looks awesome!
