Default how many straight axle projects out there?

If you had a chance to buy about 40k worth of parts for a third of the price would you do it? Would you think it is a safe investment to buy and sell parts? OEM and NOS parts (no repro's). Lots of fiberglass, trim parts, engine blocks, headlight parts, bumpers and chassis parts.

Long time ago, this happened to me and I did not take it when I had the chance. Someone was selling all of their 58-62 parts for one lump sum since the person no longer needed the 58-62 parts. . At the time, it was close to 40k worth of parts. Looking back, if I had the chance again I would do it. Just wondering if any of you ever regret missing an opportunity to invest in buying and selling parts (not an entire car).

Also, how many straight axle projects do you think are going on? Frame off restoration and bodywork?
