I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Nice thing is, alot of this applies to any old car and rebuilding.  My old Mercury is gonna require a whole bunch of custom sheet metal.  Referencing this thread will prove that body work and sheet metal replacement is not limited to only classic cars. ;) and should be a confidence builder for anyone thinking they can't try it.    Jerry for inspiration.  :jerry:

No yelling, just a lot of cutting and welding on this car. I'm planning to also do a video series on my next project When that happens (they always do ;) ). That should be as much work as the car work.

Camera,tri-pod,a couple of extra hands on occassion,and a hot chick (remember Tool time?).You are right though,filming would take a lot of extra time,but well worth it.
