Hot rodders are no dummies. They know that the fastest and least expensive way to get to a finished car is to start with the best one they can afford.
Don't fool yourself. A cobbed together, incomplete car, with major rust and body damage, is not a good candidate for a hot rodder...just as it is not a good candidate for a restorer.
Hot rodders do not seek out crap in order to "save" the good stuff for restorers. If you do so, you will be among the first (and maybe not the brightest)
If you want to hot rod your car...do it. It has been done for well over 100 years. It's allowed.
