Unfortunately, it all does have to come down to money ..or the lack thereof .... Too bad we can't look at it as a normal part replacement .... just about every other part has been replaced over the decades, and almost all of those parts will migrate to the new chassis....including the front suspension as I have totally rebuilt the front end over the years. The new chassis is even a 1965 modle same as Ole Reliable ... but it was originally assembled in Gotebourg instead of Halifax. Even the whole dash unit is making the swap. The only part that will not be Ole Reliable will be the body, driveshaft and rear axle.... I feel like the guy who just Jacked up the horn button and ran a new car under it ... ;-)
