The definition of "Professional" is one who gets paid to do something. As long as you're getting paid for it, you're a professional. This is a professional hack job.
But honestly, back in the early '80's, you could get a 2 door hard top Chevelle cheap. I paid $250 for a '69 Chevelle that passed Pa. inspection many moons ago. A real SS that was a running/driving car could be had for $1,500-2,000. You couldn't give away a four door back then. Especially if it had a sun roof installed. They were just parts cars. So back then, $50 for the car, a $30 keg of beer, a couple chop saw blades and crap load of welding sticks were super cheap. After you drank a keg of Budweiser, I'll bet this seemed like a great idea!
....but now-a-days? I'm not even sure I could get $3K worth of usable parts out of it.
