Just a question???

[juveteach]

Hello All,

Hope everyone had a great holiday season with their families.

My question is!
If, lets say someone was going to sell a first gen what is a fair price for the options below??

I have a 1968 shell with a good title. Most all the trim. Two good doors, and glass. No fenders or hood or front end assembly. The floors,rockers and cowl are great! The previos owner had the car stripped to bare metal and primed. The quarters need some work... The subframe has been POR'd. New BMR tubular uppers and lowers with QA1 double adj coilovers and C5 rotors and calipers. A set of four new BUDNIK Tiller 5... 17x11 fat lip with 315/35/17 tires(new) and 17x8 fat lip wheels. I have a ford 9" for the rear. Someone before me started a mini-tub, only one side is done, figured I would have someone do both over again just to make sure it was right. I also have a 2000 Z-28 LS1 six speed car that is wrecked as a donor car. I intended to use as much as possible off the 2k car and make work in the 68. I already have almost 10-11k in parts, not to mention labor and there seems to be no end in sight. So here lies my question keep it and do as much as I can for as long as I can, or sell and just find one already done and drive??

"This is NOT A FOR SALE CAR!!" yet
Just feeling out the community and seeing what it says!

Thanks guys!

I'm not going to touch the "how much is it worth" question.

To answer the last question, as to wether you should keep working on it, or just buy something that is finished or nearly finished, I would say you need to ask yourself what it is about this hobby that you really and truly enjoy. Do you really enjoy the time spent working on the car? Or, are you looking at it as drudgery to be lived through, so that one day you can be "done"?

Do you have the time to work on the car? Do you have "more money than time"? Or vise-versa?
For me, it's all about the building of the car itself... The research, the people you meet along the way, the friends-helping-each-other-out, buying cool parts, the fabrication, all of it. When I'm in the garage working on it, I'm in my happy place. Driving the finished car is just the icing on the cake!
