don't want to know the answer to "how much is well
over" on my own car - it would probably make me sick.

Hi
Hi again,
Thanks to all you guys who took the time to think
about & answer my question. I am definitely going to heed all of your
advice & pass on this car to find one with a more solid body, or at least
one where the welding is minimal. This being my 1st resto Chevelle (but not my

haven't been looking for a car like this to buy for several years, but I am
sure there is good bodies that won't need so much work for a lot less. Since I

I could have driven mine as soon as the engine & tranny were in but I really
wanted to do the whole thing up first. It's very hard to drive a car and
restore it at the same time because half of your time gets spent fixing
things just to keep it on the road. Also, you can't get into anything that

I could buy something like that but I want an El Camino I can drive & enjoy
while modifying it.

Heck, I bought my El Camino for $200. Of course it had no engine or
transmission in it, but that was the least expensive part of the resto
anyway. The main thing you want to look for is a good body & frame IMO.

This is sorta what I'm going through,right now. I can buy a driver 68-69 El
Camino for around $3-4K but adding another couple of grand will allow me to
buy something really decent. $8K will buy an excellent Elky.
Decisions,decisions.

Let's put it this way, I have
bought better cars than this one for $500 and under that ran. this
sounds like a $200 car to me, not anywhere near $2600. Example: I
bought a 67 Chevelle 4 door, 30
Sounds expensive to me, considering what all needs to be done. Around here,
$2600 would get a solid SS body/frame with quite a few of the SS
parts, brought in from out west or southwest. These are still around, but you
are right, they are getting harder to find.
We paid $800 three years ago

Yeah but
Everyone is saying too much money and too much rust...and they are
right! But if you took a class in welding and was willing to learn the
body work with help from a local Chevelle club or experts online..
...AND you got the price down some more. Might make it worth it?
The
Way too much $$ for a rust bucket Malibu. You are better off looking for car
with the body work done.

Just MHO, but you'd be better off buying a rust-free car from out west -
even if it cost twice as much. Unless you enjoy the work and have the
time, skill and tools to do it yourself. You've listed a LOT of body
work. Also, when I did this, I had to decide whether I wanted to drive
it or show it. I
I'd pass on this one George, 2600 is a lot for
something that needs that much work. I have a '66 that came from Oregon and is
very straight and in good condition. I paid 5000 for it. The real problem comes
when you start stripping it down and find all the hidden problems you missed or
couldn
Sure wouldn't be worth that much to me. Maybe half
what he's asking?
