You won't here in the states. They can be had in Brazil but trying to get them bought and shipped here is a huge risk and likely not to end happily considering the theft going on there and the economic conditions.

| That's it? No one is interested in this style or has considered replicating it here in the US? |

I like it. And I do believe there was someone on here a few years ago building one or duplicating because I have seen it before on the samba. You might have to make your own. |

The company that made them in Brazil in the 80's went out of business, the brand was FUSCOLETE. They were building the entire car and had several models. I have seen several of the cars in Sao Paulo but no Kits. Trying to find old kits there would be really hard and I for one would never want to comb the city looking for them even for myself. If I could find one out in the countryside that would be better/safer. Getting it here would be better using a private courier over anything through the national system, or maybe put it in a container load going to a state side importer of auto parts. If you had someone like MarkV fiberglass or Glassworks make a mold, I think they would still need an original kit to make it off of.
