MADLT1:
way to much work and it will end up owing you a fortunewhats it worth,well probably if you could get it for $5,000 aussie and all the parts that were taken off the car bar engine & box maybe,but still huge dollars will be invested in this project to do it justice,good luck keep us posted on what you do.;40

Looks like it would be one of those jobs that to get it to a reasonable standard would take much more money than buying a good vette of similar standard in the first place, i reckon the only reason to buy a vette like that is if you were after a particular part ie body panels, chassis etc to complete another more cost effective restoration or repair already at a much closer stage to completion. that's what i reckon anyway.
