I would say mid engined locost alternative which is as easy for the novice to build but makes use of more modern front wheel drive cars. If it could also make use of their steering and as much of the suspension etc. as possible all the better, a single donor car would be great.
Assuming that he wants to make this available for others to build either through a book or just the plans, making it as simple as possible without the need for fancy bending equipment or skills would be preferred which brings us to bodywork. A 7 style body is very easy to make if required as it is mostly all single curves with very little compound curves required and I think this is ideal for any DIY style car. The more complicated the bodywork the more dificult and expensive it becomes.
