I read all these posts about spending 20K on restoration, and I'm shaking my head. We bought a very clean 66 Valiant from the son of the original owner for less than $1,000. Then over a period of six years we purchased the parts we need through EBAY, and FABO. We also have friends that do body work, etc. that pitched in some free labor. The car will soon be finished and working on it has been a blast.
Start with a good car, don't buy the first one you see. There are a lot of them sitting around if you are patient. Then once you have found your car, take your time and enjoy. It doesn't have to be a show car to be very enjoyable.:burnout:
