Should I buy this '36
My dad I went to look a a '36 project this last weekend. it is exactly that... a project. 15+ years ago my dad brought home a all original 35 chevy that was going to be our first resto together. Well someone offered him the right amount of money so that truck was gone long ago, not to mention we have completed many restos since then. But both of us have held this era trucks in a special place in our hearts. The problem is that this truck is nowhere near complete. It is on a '46 frame that has been Zed, there is no fenders or running boards and neither of us care for fenderless trucks. The doors that come with it are rough and there are no hinges. If we bought it it would be a rat rod build, but different rat rod
What do you all think?

If you get for next to nothing, maybe. Missing a lot of parts. Those parts are hard to find. Myself, I'd keep looking. Good luck.

Re: Should I buy this '36
got him to $600 and walked and let him sit on it for a while. But I think my dad wants it. I will mention there are more parts than are pictured, but there are still many missing and my research definitely shows the parts are hard to find.

Looks like a disaster to me.
