The aftermarket makes new 55-57 chassis, body shells, doors, hoods, trunks and interior parts. Would a new build be acceptable in Stock today?

The bodies are correct but no one makes a stock replacement frame that I know of. All the aftermarket frames are Pro Touring or Gasser designs, therefore not legal for Stock or Super Stock. You can still buy a decent '55-57 roller for under $20,000. An aftermarket body alone would cost you that much. As Tony said it'd likely become a $100,000 Stocker before it was done.

BTW, Real Deal Steel in Florida sells the bodies and have more models about to be added to the lineup.
