does this look like a decent start?

WOW ! Really ?

I see lots of Nice cars frome every part of the Country that arent built from the leftovers from the Scapmetal heap.

If your gonna do it, Ya might as well Search out Good Parts & a Real frame.

 

Looks like alot of work.. and thats ok if your up to the challenge, but probably everything that was done by the previous owner will have to be re-done.
and at that point why not just start from scratch anyways?, I think you would be starting out ahead and not having all that time invested in tearing down what you have there.
But anyways good luck and show us where you go with it, could be interesting

 

Tear it down and Build it Right!

 

There is a slight incongruity between your philosophy and your HAMB handle.

 

I was just thinking that myself

 

No.

 

Ch***is looks like a good start,but I'd also look for a body... just my opinion. Giz'

 

My opinion with all projects: if it's what you want, go for it. It's your time and money. As long as you're satisfied with the finished product, that's what matters. Every style of rod that was ever built started with the guy who built the first one.

 

I wouldn't buy it.

 

I think you are gonna have alot more work there than you think but if you are looking for a long term project to work on it could be cool.
I would find out if you can get it ***led and insured so you can actually drive it on the street before you invest much time or energy in it or build it to spec. and make it a little racecar that would be cool too!
