Every one of those cars are completely doable projects.Most guys I know that have built cars start with far less than those are.Then I've met guys that won't touch a car if every hair isn't in place to start with.About 20 years ago I sold a 400 A to a guy like that.He sent somebody to inspect it,and the first words out of the guys mouth were,I'm not here to pick it apart for a better price,just to see if it meets his criteria.It will either be an,I'll take it,or a,no thank you.It was sold in minutes.Around the same time frame I built a 28 open cab pickup because I had a near perfect roadster cowl and stanchions that had come from Pages Model A Garage.
