not likely you'd get back half what you'd spend even if you did 100% of it yourself - the "38 Chevy" part of it appears quite rough, the "armored car" part isn't even good enough for patterns, and you have no idea what it actually was, who might have made it, or any of it's history, so it has no special value = no market, unless you made it a high end street rod, in which case you might sell it for half what you spent if the right person came along

the ugly: if the tires really are $800 new, that's the only value in it, but the guy was goofy to start there on a $200 truck big_eek
