    I asked myself, Could i build a car in no time with little money and make it nice, reliable and drivable. Here is what I came up with. It took myself and 2 friends 1 week, and I spent $4500.00 on the build. It has new brakes, master cylender for safety, a good runnin 283 and turbo 350 for reliability, and a real steel roadster body. To me this makes it fairly nice.It still needs front brakes, but it drives real nice.

    i bought every piece except the steering box, wheel, and tires and rims. It was all stuff from the classified adds, craigs list,and junk yards. The body came from a place in montana that sells old bodies. The brakes were from sppedway, and all of the misc. stuff was from NAPA.
