Why would you do that? Why not use a empty shell to build that's worth a fraction of what a survivor is worth? And why ruin a damn nice car?

Sorry, but he didn't ruin anything. He built a hot rod.

Start with the best body you can afford. A restored Model A sedan isn't worth a great deal. They will be cheaper in the future as the old guy restorers die off and younger people won't want a car you can hardly use.

exactly. and the old parts sold off brings the cost of the body down.

We did the same thing with this 1930 sedan for my pal Todd..
