How about 1 hotrod custom and 1 original, yours has good original interior so use that as an original and the other's interior is shot, so use that is the hotrod custom and it's got no engine or tranny so it could never be compleatly original. Buy it.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

There is a 57 sitting in the junkyard here in town. Its a 4 door. But I can only wish I could restore it. Needs a hood and a fender. Engine compartment has been gutted. If I were you I'd get it. But tht's just my opinion.It ain't broke if you can fix it.

Hell yeah ? go get another chevy, you got heaps of experience with the first ones, and as they say perfection comes with experience.
