I think what we have here is a young man who has not been exposed to the kind of quality that most of us are trying to attain. A good example is the blue Camaro, with its "tape it off and paint it" paint-job. most of us, having the experience of either painting a car, or spending the big bucks to have someone do it for us will instantly see the primer spot behind the front bumper, and we know that a real quality job cannot be done with the bumper and grill still in the car. He, not having the experience, doesn't see such flaws.
As for the question concerning what car to build, if it is for a profit, forget it. The odds of being able to pick up a car and get it rolling for a profit are pretty slim. Having said that, if I were to try to build a car on the cheap, I think I would look to Fox-body Mustangs. The engines and suspension are fairly cheap to build well, and the myriad of parts available for them is staggering. Play the Craigslist game and you could be well on your way to building a very nice car for somewhere in the 5K to 10K range that will prove to be quite reliable.
Shiny Side Up!
