Complete resto to chassis, prob rack & pinion and brake mods, right now planning on 5.3 lm7 with cam,tune,headers. Complete interior resto. It's a budget build, so will depend on prices and availability. Have more pics, will post soon. Any input is appreciated.
Where do you stop once you've gone this far? How do you keep it a budget build?
Everything is now accessible with the body off. I'd have no choice but to recondition everything.

Maybe I misstated. It's not a cheap build, just budget is tight. I don't want to sacrifice quality, but if I can save a few bucks here and there, I am willing to compromise on some things, especially things that can be upgraded later. I plan to spare no expense on anything that is inaccessible with the body on, but after that the budget will come into play. For instance - I'm willing to sacrifice on interior quality for now if that means I can do a top notch job on the chassis.
I agree on trying to keep things on a budget... Some years ago I bought a 37 dodge PU was just going to get it running amd this is where I ended up.. As you can see I busted my budget!
Did some quick cleaning of frame and pleasantly surprised. Aside from the nasty corners, mostly surface rust. Found a couple more areas that need attention, but less than expected.

Thanks. I actually enjoy this part. Maybe I'm sick...
You folks set the bar pretty high here, you may be disappointed by my build. 
I'd like to know the answer to this one myself. My 66 Skylark started with a mere addition of shocks and sway bars.
