WHOOOO!!!!

My mom and dad just gave the ok for me to buy another vehicle of my choice to make a hot rod out of. They just don't want me to hop up my daily driver because if something goes wrong with it, im out of a daily driver. There is a 59 apache for sale in my town...its no motor, no trans, $500 Good body, rust on passenger door. what do you guys think? anyone else got any suggestions on cheap bodies that make good hotrods, on a budget?

so that opens a WHOLE new world to what motor i can go with...this gives me the option of using a big block

I dont have to be concerned with gas milage with my hot rod because i wouldn't have to drive it every day
