With the current world situation regarding the COVID-19 issues, the economy and the general uncertainties in our lives, I’m finding myself wondering about the state of our hobby. I have located a 70’s era Model A street rod with great potential after some accident damage repaired or replaced. The frame is damaged to the point of replacing would be the simplest choice, but that requires total dismantling and starting from ground up. Some sheet metal will need replaced as well, such as a front fender, grill shell and one headlight bucket.
Overall the running gear ( Chevy 350/700R4) is low mileage with traditional dropped front axle and four link/coilovers in the rear.
The car is a very good daily driver and asking price is about $10k, I estimate repair parts to be about $2k. My question is, would this be a good project to undertake and not rebuild something that is no longer desirable or worthwhile?
Last year I drove my T almost daily on errands or shopping trips but almost all car related events were canceled.
Would be interested in other’s opinions or thoughts?
