Ok, so you're not some noob who doesn't know which end of a screwdriver to hold, who will be posting up in a month asking for recommendations for a shop near Berkeley to adjust his timing.
You could probably deal with any oddities or Mickey-Mouseness that lands.
As always, buy the best body/frame you can find.
Pre-smog best in my book. Don't know if SA even offers these.
Brakes, steering, drivetrain can be pretty bolt-on.
For drivetrain; SBCs are boring, LS are getting there. A nicely put together Toyota straight 6 always gets attention. Search "Big gay 2F" or similar. A Toyota diesel would be sweet.
