1,000 sounds pretty good. The glass alone is worth $280 on E-bay today.
Don't toss your rear fenders. Steel is very hard to find. Even if they are in tough shape, you can do quite a bit to get them back into shape. If they are ripped, you can cut the cracks and weld them.
Without pics, it is hard to judge, but never look back on price. If you feel you have a good deal, that is all that matters.
When you are taking stuff apart, be careful. You may decide later that you wished you had not mangled parts while removing them.
Even the Volare clip...if it is in good shape, give it time. You may decide it will meet your needs.
Back in the day, I junked my 76 Nova, not knowing the rear end would have been great in my 41...but oh well, that was 22 years ago! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 32 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 32 | i figured the engines themselves were worth at least 600.00 togeather. the glass i figured would cost about 400.00 if you had to have it cut. im still not sure about the volarie front clip. i may change it out for a mustang 2. i work in the after market suspension industry for a local company so i figure that i could get in touch with heits for a front clip if i decide to go that route. sema is coming up so i hope to get some good contacts while i am there. i do have a dana 60 rear end though i know its a good rear end so ill save my 9" ford for something in the future. one question is for you guys who are building really hoped up motors are you boxing the frame in? thanks for the info.
