Just learning to weld but do have some mig and flux core welding equipment and no shortage of scrap to practice. I was thinking this might be a decent first body project, just don't want to start totally from scratch. Much more experience on the mechanical side having done at least one engine swap (modern Japanese car) and a good bit of suspension work. Currently finishing my first actual engine build (air cooled vw.) This Barracuda would be stretching my current abilities on a few fronts but I guess you have to at some point to progress.
Current investment in the car is fair enough that it could be sold for profit as it sits, especially since there's a title. It's just a question of whether there's enough foundation to justify a build for my purposes/abilities. If it's buildable I'm not sure I'd do much better in the same $2k neighborhood.
