Dynacorn shell and subframe or a good driver car

[Weaver]

I am looking to build a pt 69 camaro and of course am on a budget. At this point, I am looking at the $50k range. I am willing to do some of the work myself to save some bucks, so I didn't know if it would be cheaper to buy a dynacorn shell and buy a subframe, front end, engine, tranny, rear end, electircal wiring, gas tank, interior or to buy a good driver and go from there. I am leary of buying a driver only to find out once the car would be media blasted, would find a bunch of bondo or rust repair. Everyone has told me to spend the bucks on a good body as that saves a bunch, so I thought maybe I should just buy a shell and buy whatever else I need to save some $$$.

Comments are welcomed.

Thanks,

Weaver
