Default Re: Rust versus Original Drivetrain

Kind of depends on your resources. How much money you want to spend. It is cheaper I think to do a motor and trans than to fix rust. I love original drivetrains, but I dislike rust more. If you build your self a real 302 with the correct dates you will be like 95% of the rest of the muscle cars out there. Re-bodies are really not the car at hand but a repro kit car in my opinion. The motors all look alike, but there is a difference in the Chinese sheetmetal. Rust just never sleeps! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Good luck, Sam

THE DRIVETRAIN IS IMPORTANT TO ME. A RUSTY CAR CAN BE REPAIRED. THERE WAS ONLY 602 67 Z'S MADE, HOW MANY ARE LEFT? DO THE CAR... KP
