Wanted to run something by y'all...

I've been considering backdating my '74 and recently found this car for sale locally:

I would only need the front fenders and hood (maybe the bumper, although I already have one that doesn't have a "lip"). So if I were to buy this car, take these parts off, then try to sell it again, any ideas on value?

..or..

If I were to buy that car and use the parts I need, do you think it has enough value in the parts individually to help recoup the costs of the car? I would not trash the chassis, just try to sell as many parts as possible then sell what's left as a whole (really, really cheap).

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to make a profit on it, but I'd like to not "waste" $5k just for fenders and a hood. But if I can recover enough of the original purchase, it might be worth it, especially if it means my "backdate" would have a steel hood and fenders (which I feel safer with).

Would love your thoughts!

Cheers
