That is a great project.  My only advice is to try to avoid serious rust.  Drive train is much easier to fix that a bunch of rotten body parts

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Been combing the web, HOLY CRAP !!! junk yard quality is 5 to 10 grand, then everything else is 25,000 from needs some work to pretty nice. Anything that is truly nice is 30 +    I'm kind of shocked, just a few years ago you could get a pretty nice car for 15-18, same car today is 28.

Yep, I'll let the cat out of the bag - he bought my car. I really lost interest a few years ago, and made a deal with Shimy. I know it will go to a good home, and I know he's getting a great deal for a car I pout a lot of love into when I still loved her. :)

Thanks! I would be lying if I said I didn't tear up a bit, so much work and time, and I never got to drive it, even though it is ~98% back together. I am sure Steve and his son will love it, and make many great memories together working on it.
