Help with an "A" body.

Thanks everyone for the replies and the welcome. Another part of this same posting was....what do you think a car like this is worth? I know thats a tough question because of alot of variables. Basically this car, is a rolling boby. It has and engine and trans but does not run. The interior has been gutted(the owner says he has the seats). All the glass is there although it will need a windshield, and it will need the body work I mentioned earlier.
I guess my problem is, do I wait for a car in better condition and pay more for it or do I purchase one that is rough and hope for the best?
I am capable of doing most of the work myself(engine,trans,brakes,suspension,paint.). I will probably have to farm out getting the rust repaired as I do not have the tools or talent for welding. Anyway what do you think a reasonable price is for a car like the one I described?

Thanks,

Mike
