Wouldn't it be cheaper to build one from a strip down car than have to buy everything to finish a B.I.W?

There's lots of wrecked Challengers in the junk yards across the country to cherry pick parts from...and $2500 for a body-in-white is a hell of a deal today, because they were $4500 when they first came out.

I think most people start with a B I W and scrounge another "doner" car, usually a boneyard piece that's been totaled. Back when I built my B I W, Oldsmobile was providing a doner car until they found out that some of the racers were selling them.

Do you recall what you paid for your Olds BIW back then or what they were selling them for...and what all came on it, or was it just a shell.
