I don't mean to flame, The OP didn't really say what the extending circumstances were, oh it was some guy on fabo, it was a close friend, it was this it was that.

I'm the first one to help someone in need, hell I've done stuff for free plenty of times, it feels good to give, but you've got to ask would they do the same for you... In this instance I hope it's circular.

If it weren't all those things we now know, your telling me your gonna take the raw dog, get abused so you can maybe get future crummy business, from some jackass that ripped you off's circle of friends?? I think not. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

You know what isn't 'a good way to make friends?' Taking them to the cleaners. I can just see it now.... "Oh yeah, you need that car restored? Got a friend that will do it for next to free!"

Riiiight. Great way to grow business. Better have a backup career.

Who the person is that is having the restoration done and if they are a member her makes absolutely no difference and is a mute point. I am just saying a quote for a price and is a contract while an estimate is I might be able to do this depending on what I find. If you wreck your car and a shop is written a check to repair the car then they find more damage they contact the insurance company immediately before proceeding with any additional work. Then it is the insurance company that chooses to give the shop the go ahead or total the car. I have seen plenty of cars go through CoPart that was insurance labeled cars that the work had been started and never finished. I can only assume that this is what happened in all these cases. We have bought some of them and found paperwork in them showing that is exactly what happened.
There is a procedure to correctly do business and there are reasons that it is done that way. Not everyone is a cash cow and most have to work within their financial restraints. There is also a point to where the all the restoration costs combined exceed the value of the vehicle. There are restorations done where the vehicle owner only wanted it to be done as a decent looking daily driver.
Having worked on plenty of those 66 back F series pick ups I do know they are pretty easy to go over in detail before you start working on them. I happen to have one of them right now and the plan is to build one out of three and in the end it will be a 4 wheel drive short bed 1966 F 100 but since I got hurt there are things that I can't do myself so there is the question if I will even end up doing it because of the total cost. Combined costs has been why the OP has parted so many cars when others have been crying about him parting them so he knows the ropes in that area.
