Thanks for all the encouraging words. Now I ask for some technical advice. From what I can tell the frame of my car looks good, but the floor pans are badly rusted. I have located a guy who builds drag cars. He has agreed to beef up the frame to handle the added torque, and will redo the front suspension for me. He will also clean up the engine bay, put in, and finish out the engine and transmission, and rear differential.

I know zero about body work. Should the floor pans be replaced before the frame and suspension work, or would this still be possible to do afterward?

Does this sound like a good place to begin? My thinking is to get it safe to drive first. I have not asked yet if he can also convert my car to disc brakes. Sound I go with just front discs or all four?
