This. I have a 72 Chevelle SS and spent 2k on sheetmetal alone. A lot of your parts are gonna have to be fabricated which means even more money.

bought everything new and went to a very reputible shop...I spent about 2500 in sheet metal like my guy with the 72 Velle said and the paint and body bill is around 8k. I got new fenders, new doors, new qtrs, 442 hood, trunk lid, bumpers, grills the whole nine. the old parts were repairable but time equals money...so might as well save time and spend the money on new stuff.
didnt mean to thread jack but OP: Do your research on parts first! Talk to a couple local shops doing work also...

The 510 will allow some aftermarket help as opposed to the ghia. I've seen a couple of running ones but they either had SR's or KA's in it.
Santi, as for the Cressida, I don't suggest building one unless you've got loads of cash to blow. Take it from somebody who helped out in a Cressida project: the platform is difficult to build on ESPECIALLY if you plan on tracking it.
