Well, I found a hardtop 63 near me. He wants 4k for it. But the floor its ate up with floor and quarter panel cancer. I can probably jew him down to 2000. shite maybe even cheaper if it's in worse shape when I go to see it Thursday. I figure at minimum it's going to cost me 25k without putting hydraulics on it. Another 20 if I do. So a new vehicle. I can live with that.

Buy one already done. There are a ton out there for sale that will save you a ton of money.
FYI-25k will get you paint/body work and interior. You still have suspension, engine, transmission, wheels, tires, brakes, glass, moldings, etc. that will run you another 30-50k. This puts you at 75k or so on a car that if done perfectly might get 50k top dollar. Or you can buy one already done for 40k.
