PDon above is right. It's no more "time and expense" to create a Frankencar than the real thing. If you just want an "old timey" ride, buy a used PT Cruiser. This is a site for those who want Packards, not F-150s or Crown Victorias.
Okay, I new some of you were going to hate my idea. Here's the thing. I got the car missing two brake drums, one front, one back. (the previous owner was apparently mid brake job when he expired) Two drums are going to cost me $500 and still need to source all the other brake parts as they are missing. wiring is crumbling.
Got the Engine running, (still needs a decent carburetor rebuild to make it run well but it runs and doesn't knock or smoke.
I'd at least like to upgrade the front suspension to power rack and pinion and disk brakes.
