Alright I have some more questions. If this is the wrong forum to be doing this, please redirect me. I know its so hard to make guesses like this cause there are a million variables, but how much does it (realistically) cost to put together a street rod. I am thinking 30-34 ford coupe 3 window. because i don't care much about showing the car, and just want a fun driver paint and chrome and what not isn't neccesary (at first). Cuase it'll be driver ill probably need a fairly new motor, chevy 350? and chassis, i am clueless about, is it a better idea to get a new chassis, that is designed for street rods, or try to recondition and use an ancient 30s chassis?? so how much would ya'll estimate for a fairly basic setup like the one noteed above?
