Re: Looked at "Very Solid 59" today
That would be a very cool project, I'm just saying when you pay $4,600 for a stock repro frame, plus several thousand more for a rebuilt front and rear suspension, plus a disk brake upgrade, you are getting close to the $13,100 that will buy you a turn-key rolling chassis with C4 running gear:
People are buying C1 projects with original drivetrains, and selling off the drivetrains to make restomods. You see them on ebay all the time. Which is a shame, JMHO. With this car, you should get the rusty frame discount, and not feel guilty about restomoding it because it would not be cost-effective to restore as a top flight car with a "restoration" engine.
