Done right you could spend $30,000 and a lot of time restoring it. It is not currently and probably will never be worth the total investment.

After 15 years in the parts business my advice remains the same-buy 'em done.

William is correct from a purely financial point of view. All hobbies are expensive. Just ask anybody that builds street rods. They build one then sell it because it's the game of building another one. I am having a lot of fun working on mine and learning how these simple cars were built. The more you can do yourself the less it costs you to do it. Make friends in the hobby and you will gain experience and HELP getting things done. Money is no object for my happiness. Just my $.02 worth. graemlins/beers.gif
