To answer the original question, I would say yes. I know my 18 year old son could do it, and he has a full time job to boot. As far as cheep, thats a loaded question. I would think it could be done for around $2000. This would depend, of course on your talents. My son can weld, fabricate, and scrounge parts very well. On my old 72, he stripped it to the frame, swapped drive train, rebuilt the engine, I built the trans, installed hydroboost, and had it on the road in 5 weeks.
