Wondering if there's more room in an 037 than a Stratos. I would prefer a full tube frame rather than a donor.

Depends on what you mean "more room" but in the cabin there is a little more elbow room. I suspect that there's more headroom too, especially with the double bubble roof. In terms of luggage capacity the Stratos wins hands down. The 037 has none.
If you're serious about an 037 replica then I can highly recommend Mick Covill who makes kits here in the UK. You do need to find a donor Monte Carlo Spider (Or Scorpion) though and it involves a lot of surgery. And it won't be cheap either by the time you've sourced a twin cam, supercharger and the right (ZF?) gearbox.
Here's an eBay listing for the subframes for an 037 to fit to a chassis.

Good luck with it!

Mick's 037 kits do look excellent , he has helped me in the past with integrale parts , top bloke & he seriously knows his stuff.
There's also Carteroni down here. http://www.carteroni.co.nz/
I haven't seen their car, but thise I've spoken too are complimentary.
Thanks everyone, I new about the Carteroni but not the other. Headroom is a concern for me as I have a long torso.
I don't really care to make it an accurate replica, just an inspiration as I have a Ferrari 360 drive-train that needs a home. Those front & rear frames look slick.
The Carteroni should be good at £100k (200k NZD)......Quote:

I have a FIA spec roll cage and this limits head space. It depends on how you make the top of the roll cage. Biggest issue is the rol cage part at the top of the door left of my head. Thats the closest. Than tehre is the diagonal one at the right. Maybe if you design that one a bit different there is more room. Heres a picture of me in my project , i am 185m. in length and a top vieuww of the roll cage.Quote:
