Duane is right on that last sentence; I started with the notion of a donor build. with EFI in mind and cap of $30K over 5 years.

3 years, $50K, went to carb and 90% non-donor parts later, I can say building a car is the most fun you'll have, even with problems. I learned to to be a plumber and electrician thorugh this exercise, and even learned to build a motor. I never intended to rush things so it took any pressure off a timeline.

Good luck on your decision. Keep us in the loop if when you have questions.
