Hi, The $15-20K would only get you an engine rebuild and paint job. This car needs everthing plus what I cant see!!! The floors, rockers and trunk probably need replacing. Doing the interior as original is very expensive also. If you have a restoration/body shop and lots of time & dollars go for it. I bought and parted out a 48 custom which had a good interior but body was too far gone to justify restoring, it was Michigan car. Good luck
