Keeping in mind that the work to do one is labor intensive and the other is more of a bolt in (though not totally). What to do.
We decided the way to go was with an after market chassis, so we called Roadster Shop and had one sent out to us. Man that thing is a work of art! This car is going to go way beyond what I ever thought it would be, I had only dreamed about this.

Hell yea now you're cooking with gas.....

What are you doing for a drivetrain? Another big block or something else?

The body looks like a pretty good starting point.

Thanks!!

I have a couple of big blocks that I considered, and the small block that came out of it but I decided to go with an LS and a 6 speed

The body was pretty good, it was somewhat preserved by being in storage and torn down for 15 years
