I have seen guys take a car rusted in half (two peices) and rebuild it. It does depend on the person the most imho. My buddy spent 4k in parts for his 55.5 truck and has only installed 1/8th of the parts before he got depressed by it sitting. We havent messed with his truck in 2 years now. Wasted money, truck and parts.... to make things worse he bought the truck from my dad 5 years ago. I too, have started feeling depressed by my beast not looking any better. She runs great and driving it is a blast... but it is an eye sore to me.... so much to do, so little money!
