The car looks in good shape to me, outside of the floors. She shouldnt be that huge of a project to get her to be a driver as is. As for chopping and dropping her, you may want to reconsider that. Probably 90% of all serious home built customs never get finnished. Most give up after theyve gotten half of the major body work done and then just sell or scrap the car after it sets like that, unfinnished for a few years.
