While the car is in relatively good shape for being 83 years old, it is by no means a pristine restoration. The car sat inside a barn and believe me the custom velour interior smells like it. I also got the blessing to hot rod it from the 84 year old farmer I bought it from.
As far as buying a body from Brookville, a 32 coupe is 25k. This was a good comprimise between a really poor A and a new steel body. It will still be costly to bring up what I have.
The only certainty right now is the body being repaired and chopped. It will have a manual transmission. As far as engine most likely small block Chevy, but early hemi is a thought. Maybe even cadillac. I first need to get there. I hope to send out the body to be dipped in December and from there body work. It's going to take some time.
