Get it out of there any way as there might be something on it someone could use and check the area around it very good as most of it could be there. Jeff

The only hope for that is about ten grand worth of metal working tools, and a year of full time labor.

It would be cool to see it saved, but if he spent $5K on a good starter car, that year of time would produce a lot more results.

I'd jack up the car, save the bullet holes and recycle the rest. . .

I think the best use for that rig has already happened, take some artsy pictures of it and sell them at the next swap meet. Be sure to use black & white film!

I agree with others, better pass on this one. As others have siad find a running or near running car that does not require too much body work. Mechanical work is way easier to learn, and finding someone willing to work on restoration/custom body work when you realize you don't know how to do it yourself is very difficult these days. Not to mention very expensive. Figure $75 per hour shop rate for hundreds or hours. Plus materials.
