Good decision... With the current market you really need to balance what your end result with what you are going to invest. A guy building a $250k custom can afford to throw $30k into sheet metal work because half of it is going to be modified anyway. If you want a stocker or mild resto-mod find something like that $25k driver that doesn't need the paint and body work and focus on your upgrades.... save yourself time and money. Right now it is still cheaper to buy something done than to build from scratch.


But of course that brings up the whole other conversation of the quality of a lot of "restored" or "built" cars out there.... but that is for another time....
