Hey all,

Last summer I purchased a "kit", Basicly I have a good body, good frame and a working 1972 Ford 351C engine and a 3 speed ford auto trans and a 9" ford rear. I think I have all of the parts that go on the outside. IE head lamps, roll bar including unfinished side pipes (no headers). For the interior I have nothing but a dash, rv mirror and seats. I have been deployed for the last few months and with my following orders I will not be able to resume the project for another 4 years. I have $10,000 saved up now, how much more should I save up to make a good daily driver. I am far from rich, I am ok at saving! I just want a good looking respectable car to drive on the weekends with my wife and kids sometime, this has always been a dream of mine. I do have some pictures posted on this site. I think, if all goes well I will have $15,000-20,000 when I return.

I will have to pay someone to do a paint job. Single color, perhaps a subdue stripe.

Thanks for the input!
