So then ,what's your alternative ? Worse rusted, rotbag shitpiles like Chevys and Fords ? Or exponentially worse the foreign crap from the 70's ?

Stick with cars that have parts support, or to ones like my rust free CA 69 GTX.

Seriously ? That's a beautiful car you have there. But the other 99% in the hobby are not as fortunate. Having done bodywork since the 70's, I admire and applaud those with the skills to perform the expertise as demonstrated in pix and threads such as this one. Yeah, if you want to go cheap and easy, just get a {yawn} Mustang or Camaro.

Yeah, seriously. I’ve dealt with enough rust to know I’m not doing that again. Thirty years in the hobby will do that to you. Maybe someday I’ll find the right 73-74 rr, but it’s not looking good on that front. Any of the rust free ones are so expensive of an ask that it’s basically the same price as a 68-70 b body or even an e body. I can’t justify doing that. Not to mention other brand cool cars or a pre war car I’d like to give a try.

I also think you might be surprised at the rust free cars out there that are cheaper than fixing a rusty one.
