One major plus for building it as an Eleanor is that they are really popular right now. Based on what I have seen other E cars sell for, mine would be worth $80-$100k when I was done, and I would only have about $40k into it (not counting my 5 years of labor!) I saw a stock suspension Eleanor sell for $52k the other day. The same car without the body kit would have sold for $25-$30k. Hard to believe people pay that kind of money for these cars.
