===United States=== [[File:Blakely Bernardi roadster.jpg|thumb|250px|A [[Blakely Bernardi|Bernardi]] roadster, from the [[Blakely Auto Works]]]] A [[Vehicle glider|glider kit]] is a term used in the [[United States]] for a kit of components used to restore or reconstruct a wrecked or dismantled vehicle. Glider kits include a [[chassis]] ([[frame (vehicle)|frame]]), [[front axle]], and body ([[cabin (truck)|cab]]). The kit may also contain other optional components. A motor vehicle constructed from a glider kit is titled as a new vehicle. More common terms include "partial-[[turnkey]]," "turnkey-minus," and (though it technically refers to a vehicle without a body, rather than body without drivetrain) "[[rolling chassis]]," or "roller." Examples of US kit manufacturers and cars include: {{div col|colwidth=22em}} * [[Blakely Auto Works]] * [[Bradley Automotive]] * [[Fiberfab|Classic Motor Carriages (CMC)]] * [[DDR Motorsport]] * [[Devin Enterprises]] * [[DF Kit Car]] β Manufacturer of the DF Goblin kit car * [[Factory Five Racing]] β Manufacturer of Cobra replicas as well as the GTM Supercar, and 818 of their own design * [[Race-car-replicas]] β Manufacturers of GT40 (MKI and MKII), Lola T70, Jaguar D-Type and XJ-13, P4, 917 and 962 and others. * [[Fiberfab]] * [[Kelmark Engineering]] * [[Sterling Sports Cars]] β Car from the US also known as the Nova in the UK * [[La Dawri]] * [[Lad's Car]] * [[McBurnie Coachcraft]] * [[Meyers Manx]] * [[Pangra]] β Turbocharging, water-injection and body rework of the Ford Pinto<ref>{{cite web|last1=Koch|first1=Jeff|title=Pangra!
