if I can save the motor and tranny I will,(chevy engines are cheap, you can get one for like 50 bucks and rebuild it for 2000, and have a 500hp motor) Its the frame that I am worried about, can that even be repaired? The entire drivers side is loose! It just rusted and fell off, Floor pans are nothing, the roof is a pain. The rest is take apart, metal patch and rebolt on.
If the frame is rusting and falling apart in pieces, you may want to find a another Chevy chassis of similar vintage and build on that. You deffinitely want a solid frame to work with. At least your not trying to rebuild a Packard.
Now comes the part where you search vintage junk yards from coast to coast, and place ads looking for an original clock! But again, this is where Hemmings comes in handy, since old car people from all over are selling stuff.
Hot rods make me cringe. Which are different from rat rods.
