For my next project, I'm thinking of a ~ 1968 era Jeep CJ5. Totally plan to to just build from scratch rather than find one to restore. Dynacorn doesn't have the tub, but others do. By the time you buy a tub, a frame, axles, etc. there is no advantage to starting with a complete vehicle.I think Rusty has a thread on here about a Dynacorn body Mustang he built. I'll try to find it.
Jeep is much simpler than a Mustang, but as I think about my el Camino project, very few factory parts are going on the shell (which is now about 1/3 aftermarket Sheetmetal anyway.) All I can really think of is the door innards, bumper brackets, under-dash braces, just not much.
If I were doing a Chevelle or 67-69 Camaro, I would lean toward the Dynacorn shell. Seriously.
One issue to consider is titling. Every state is different. I looked into it and it is not a problem in Washington state, but I've read that it can be in come states.
