Default Re: newb intro and need advice please - 68 GTO project

Hey Jason..Is it an Ironhead Sportster? Stock frame? What front end? I have made my living building Harleys for close to 40 years. If I had an old ironhead that someone wanted to swap for a decent GTO, I would in a heartbeat. Now if the car is a flat out rag, no trade. Will he send you a bunch of pictures of the car, so you could save the drive? If it is full of rust, I would pass on it. Bodywork and paint is killer price wise to have it done by a shop. If the frame and body look decent, swap him. 5 grand for a project GTO doesn't sound bad, if the body aint shot. Good luck.
