I got a 68 coupe rust free roller body for $500, and the 90K mile lincoln was $500.

I am a painter so the body/paint work is no problem. I all I should need is some tires/wheels, and a interior kit. The total investment should less the 5 grand, including some shelby fiberglass parts for the body.

I wish I still had my T-bird, I'd take a few measurements here... Seems to me that this approach makes a lot of sense. The Mark VIII is a unibody, take a whole bunch of measurements, cut and weld, and you have a nice hybrid.
