I will have to check out that thread as I have not yet. The nose is the biggest issue to me, the floors are pretty bad off (gone in the back but the tunnel seems ok) but I have found a company in Canada that actually makes those. The rest of the rust issues can be handled in patches and such I can make. There is a lot of bondo on the car (up to a 1/4" on the forward section of the front fenders) so that is not gonna be any fun to remove either. Moneywise I worry the most about rebuilding the engine because from what I read a read a reputable shop would charge 6-7k and I have never got into rebuilding motors myself, I may have to learn to make the project happen and like you said it is not like I am would do this overnight.
On the tires you bet they are expensive, at least for what they are. On the Coker tires website (the only place I have checked) they have Michelin X-Blackwalls in 165R400 for $176 each, that is a lot for a little tire.
