Back in the late 80's I put together a 40 Chevy 4 door sedan.
The ONLY things new on the car were the brake lines and fluids in the motor/trans.
Everything else was from the BoneYard, craigslist or freebies.
We drove it like that for years until I tore it all down and threw all new parts in it.
Even w/new parts it really didn't drive any better then the BoneYard parts did.
As long as you have inspected the old or used parts and they are safe why not use it.
At least I know they worked trouble free for X amount of miles/years unlike one on the shelf...joe
