I'd source a used one before I made one, and I work in sheet metal.

- 73 Grande will be used to build 73 Vert.
Yea, I’ve got a semi long list forming of parts I need.
I guess my dilemma or ??? is, if I remove from the now donor car, my current 73 coupe, the engine, trans, driveshaft, custom built ECU harness, rebuilt ECU, all of the new front suspension components, and all of the new brakes. And, I put the old worn out suspension and brakes from the Vert on the Coupe, will anyone be a buyer of that car? I haven’t sold a car in so long, I’m not sure I’d take my own advice on the subject. The coupe will have a mostly complete interior (less the new single din unit with speakers, and the tach upgrade in the dash), but no engine, trans, a modified engine harness, etc. Will that be sellable?
Thankfully, I’m in the middle of restoring the floors from very mild rust, and in a few weeks, scraping the underbody to do the same, so I have time to reconsider or consider my plan.
