100% agree. We've already got a few of the parts - cheap. It's finding the right car. Looking for FMJ bodies. 4 door, ugly, bad paint, ripped interior will all be fine just has to be solid and be a driver. Don't want to dump the budget in full front end rebuild, etc.

I just started reading this adventure!!!!!! Might I mention this. Be really careful of FMJ stuff up in the rust belt, ie the frame rails, they really have a problem. You might look at the early B body more doors IF the more door deal is what you are after.??????
Let me mention this also. Wagons?? I have a central Tx rust free 77 SB wagon, complete, not running, I had it traded off for a 64 B body for the running 318 poly I need, but FB Marketplace has somehow lost the correspondence!!! Hoping the other guy contacts me, I will honor our trade if we contact again. Mean while, back at the ranch, this wagon is $500, cheap but the ride to IL. probably kills the deal!!! ha
This will be another good read in the art of hotrodding!! Continue on!!
