The project you are talking of surpasses what the car is worth, even if it is a convertable. You need to look for a solid car. Keep a patient and consistant eye on Craigslist, ebay, etc. You may even stumble accross something you like better, even with consideration of whatever history you have had with your present car.
When you think you have found what you want, ask for many, many good pictures with no missing areas underneath, because of the price of fuel today. An honest person won't hesitate and they will have access to a camera, unlike the ever too busy liars with the chronic computer problems. The right car will be worth the trip.

You should be ashamed of yourself. You have no idea what connection this person has to this car. I was told that I was crazy on numerous occasions for restoring a `68 Road Runner that was in the condition that it was in when I started. No engine, trans, fender tag or build Sheet, or body numbers for that matter. Just a rolling chassis old race car. Last thing left on the car that is still original to it now is the roof, rear underseat floorpan, front frame rails and the torsion bar crossmember. I don't regret one thing.
WOW, Nice. much respect.

All I am saying is put yourself in Bigdogg2gs shoes and see that your opening statement is way to harsh and insensative, the guy already has the vehicle and is looking for suggestions to move forward with IT.
All I'm going to say about it. Here is my Road Runner.

P.S. the '65 300 looks like it was a solid southwest car and I would be drooling on it the way it was in the before pictures. Outstanding car.
