Kyle,
To answer your question, yes I have done body work before, but not at this level. I learned metal finishing long ago from my grandfather- and I am using his tools form the 40s to do the work. I try to be very patient, but it is not exactly in my nature. I tooka course in college - "metals" - It taught you the basics of shaping and forming. Granted, it was not sheet metal, but the same principals apply.
My intent is to build a sneaky Plain Jane custom. I.e. big wheels and tires, and some excellent suspension mods. At this time, I will not get into a rallye hood, even though I love 'em. I will keep the stock interior color - White, but the exterior color is debatable. It was originally white, but who knows.....
As far as drivetrain goes, well...My imagination powers it..... I don't know, maybe a hybrid turbo small block engine to keep the fuel consumption down, but the HP up. Then again, I am going to have to pay for it somehow....
