Well, ironically the thing that makes most pass on it is what makes it a doable project for me. The fact that it came from the factory as a chassis with only a hood and fenders means that there are not any cab body parts that are skinned over wood. It means that I can build a body from scratch and I don't have to try and fix or duplicate the door skins, etc. I can just draw up what I want and order in a pile of wood and get the cnc router going on it. I know that is oversimplified, but this body is easier for me to build than if it were a 4 door car with metal skins for sure. I am running a cnc wood shop for a living, so it shouldn't be hard to do it once I find the time.
The rolling chassis is in better shape than others I have brought home. The left front fender is the worst, with the hood being bent the next worst. The running boards, splash pans and such are in good shape. I really think that the 3 big ticket items are the tires, the radiator and then the bundle of wood. Tires are $170-205 each plus tubes and rim liners. The radiator is app $675 for brand new and the wood - no idea yet, but I think it will be app $500 unless I build seats/pews too, then it may be more.
