74 Rust Problem

I don't know, guys. I can see from a standpoint what ya'll are saying, but one thing to take into account is that some guys... with limited funds... can buy parts relatively inexpensively and start piecing it together. Sure you may have more money in it than what it's worth or more money in it than what it takes to buy a clean one, but...

It's like buying a house. You can take the loan out and pay it off per month as to what you can afford or you can buy it outright. Not many of us can buy it outright so we take the loan. By the end of the loan the interest paid on the loan puts us way over the actual purchase price of the house.

For some of us we can actually piece it together. A fender here, some trim there, whatever it needs. We can't just pull $5000 from our pocket and whatever it takes to ship across the states.
