And just what makes you think this won't become a frame off resto? huh? huh? Come on tell me!

Just jerkin ya chain bro. But you know how it is, that new thing just don't look right bolted to that old thing so the old thing needs to be replaced and there is another old thing in the way that needs to be replaced so that both new things will look right, and so the saga begins again.

But seriously, best of luck getting it drivable. Maybe it can rekindle the fire to get the resto finished.

make it safe, and drive it.. maybe a coat of single color primer, and some good tunes.
Then you can do a kick ass motor for it.
