Biuld worth-stock/clone vs protouring $$

If it were me I would just build a nice driver with a healthy motor and leave it as sort of a blank canvas for the next buyer who may want to build it to his taste. Then you can concentrate on spending that three grand where it counts. I have 30k in my 65 convertible and it's not done. And I do all my own work too! I'm going pro touring and as you know mopar **** is double every other make. Good luck and pics of the car would give us an idea where you are starting.
