Thanks guys.
Still not sure which way I am leaning.

Not sure what expensive work is required?
Original engine still has a lot of life left.
Next level would be to recover seats, new dash, and paint f/r hoods.
I even have enough brown basket weave material to recover both seats and door cards, even though door cards are fine.

VERY solid mostly original sheet metal.

Sourced all/most parts for the 2056 but the original engine runs so good I never felt the need to replace yet.

So only number thrown out was $15k?
Was that including the 2056 parts?
So maybe 12k for the car and 3k for the 2056?
