almost always cheaper to find a finished car than to build your own. But can you find a car done the way you want it? I ask because to change things can have the money adding up quick depending on what you're changing.

Nice looking car.

It might be hard to find a finished car. If I were to buy this car I would be making a lot of changes. Engine, transmission, suspension, breaks, interior, Paint, etc.

what's the end result you want? And how much $$$ do you want to spend?

Do you want a daily driver? Weekend toy? Awesome g machine?

Are you particular about what engine you want? tranny? Suspension?

I have noticed same.Sometimes lots of views without replys. I am not sure what you are after in the end but that 68 look really nice to me.Its not maybe with the latest trends but atleast you can drive and enyou for it!!

Why not to bay and drive it for year or two. In that time i am sure you know what to do. If you really big plans i am sure you get the same money out of it or some when selling extra parts . Just my thoughts.

You need to tell us what you're after as far as mods, and what your budget is. Then we can answer your question.

You have to remember there are tons of non registered people looking at the forums.

Give us a direction and you'll get more replies. What are you aiming for? Just how far do you want to go with the car? It gets really crazy, and we're really good at spending other peoples money.

It also depends on your working skill level, and which mods you think you can do, or are going to have to pay someone to do. How much are you willing to learn to do, and so on.

I believe it is cheaper to buy a done car, than to have one built to your wants. At least that is what my check book is finding out.

Thanks for the input!!! As for mods that I think I can do...As long as it isn't body and paint or major engine work I can do it. I'm always willing to spend the time and learn. Hell, that's half the fun. You make a solid point about the check book. It's looking more and more like finding a car that's done is the way to go. At least that way I can make changes at any pace and plan a bit more for big ones.

Thanks again.
