found a nice project...not a camaro though
my friend from works dad has a 78 chevy pickup that he said he would sell to me. its pretty solid altough it does have some rust through the metal but only on the bed. the front is really solid. its got an 8 ft bed so its nice and big. its got a 350 w/ all the chrome stuff lol and it has true duals running to glasspacks and sounds really badass. it cost him a couple hundred to have that done. the trans is kinda on its way out but he has another trans that he said i could have with it. sound like a good project? guess what...its only 400 bucks!

Seriously man, if it's not what ya want, def don't compromise because you'll never be happy with it. I wanted a Camaro when I decided to restore the Ventura because I thought I would come out cheaper that way, and I couldn't find the Camaro I was looking for. Now, I have over $11k invested in the Ventura, not counting my time, and I would trade/sell it in a heartbeat to mod my Camaro or buy an SS. Point is get what ya want. Restoring the Ventura was fun and def an experience w/ my dad that I'll never forget, but there's no comparison w/ my Camaro cause it's what I've always wanted.

i get what u guys are saying about getting what i want and everything. my plans for this truck were just to get it, have some fun with it and fix everything i can and get the body nicer and all in primer. then sell it for a lot more then i put into it so i would have money to get what i want.

yeah...i could buy a turd gen for 500 easy...with no hood, rims, engine, trans.... i dont want to wait a long *** time to get another car. i just want a project right now ya know, somethin i can tinker around with whenever i want like i did with the camaro. the only reason im considering this is b/c of the drivetrain and the price. he had the exhaust put on like a year ago and that alone cost him around 300 bucks...
