It's a BIG project, no doubt.   But the seller started off right.   He got 
the completely body, with hood, decklid and doors, with the bodywork complete 
and ready for paint.   It was stripped bare except for the steering rack, and 
steering column.   No other parts were included.   But the price was right--he 
got it for two hundred bucks!   And that included the trailer it was mounted 
on!

But the cost to turn that into a complete car, one piece at a time, is pretty 
staggering.   This is an excellent candidate for a vintage race car where you 
throw away all of the fiddly bits that nickel-and-dime you to death when 
you're buying them piece by piece.

This would actually be a WONDERFUL car for the owner of a complete 
rustbucket.   Just paint this one, then park the cars side-by-side, transfer all the 
bits from the rustbucket over, sell off the leftover duplicate pieces, cut the 
rustbucket apart to salvage the useable pieces, and send the rest to the blast 
furnace!
