You can find everything to bring it back, but it won't be cheap. I would think you could get the car fairly cheap though, and if the frame is in good shape, it should just be a matter of going to some swap meets or just buying new and bolting on.

But what's it worth to you? that's the important question. Good luck with it. _____________________________ God Speed Rich. www.larosadesign.net Design, Engineering,Tooling www.stantonscustomrods.net "Welcome to Tennessee, The patron state of shootin' stuff".......Shooter (in reply to Frostbite) Post #: 14

I can always go up. Thanks everyone for all the help, I will post up pics soon (in reply to blueshark) Post #: 15

Get a price for all the parts that you think that you need and you will find that it will cost you more to put it together than it would if you bought a poorly kept vette. You say you need doors, how much are they? Would they come with glass? Or regulators, does your potential purchase have power windows or a crank. What about the windshield, any bright parts left and what about the inside trim. What else is missing the you did not see yet? There are better deals out there, be patient and you'll be a lot happier in the long run, that's my 2 cents worth, PG. _____________________________ my Vettes birthday, May 1, 1974 (in reply to Frostbite) Post #: 17

I am still going to get it if the price is reasonable, I have been pricing parts and though it will cost alot, I want to get a little crazy with anyways. The parts that are missing aside from the doors, hood, and headlights are things I would have replaced to begin with, so that is fine that they are missing. Honestly the more people that tell me it can't be done motivate me more to do so, keep the advise coming!!! http://www.flipdrive.com/photoalbum.php?user_id=44464&album_id=5&code=5d19ab07d99d47041c1f98972744fa3d (in reply to alive69) Post #: 20
