From a financial stand point.. A Dynacorn body was not a option...
Buying a 8k rollor car.. don't know what you are gonna get till you start peeling layers of the car apart... I can tell you horror stories of cars that have come in here that 40K was paid.. to tear the car apart and find layer of body filler or panels that were repaired with fiberglass filler.. Body panels replaced body work & paint.. it all adds up...
This car had a decent foundation for us to start.. & in the long run it will save some money on the build...

Kudos to you for taking the time to talk about the other options people keep bringing up. Personally, I would have just ignored them, since you are building it for a customer.
I get that there are valuable cars out there, but if everyone saved those valuable cars we would not have the incredible aftermarket we have and great sites like this to see those parts be put on cars by great shops like yours. I am really looking forward to the end result.
