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.

You got it right on
No way anyone is going to make those Mustang roll back to the sunny roads of Texas with couple of tons in a year or two. It would take many years and ?(2-10)0.000 dollars to do that... I think you shoul listen to us how have done it for once or couple of times.
I have to say that I was 17 when I got my Vette and I have spend a fortune to build it up and it has taken 7 years so far and it ainīt ready. No way Iīm going to get even my money back with that and I havenīt even uset the fanciest parts to built that car. Most of the work, mockups and fabrication is selfmade by me. Itīs good to have dreams but prepare to take you time and work hard to earn some serius money for this up comming project. Donīt forget to give time and money for other important things in life!!!
