Restoration

My 2 cents.
I have seen guys all my life that wanted a perfect show car, then after they finally achieved such, then they learned that they would not drive it for fear of hurting that $10,000 body/paint job that the shop spend 2 years on. Or a car the reto costs them $70,000. Then they wanted a "driver' to go with it or in many cases sold the "show car" off at a loss.
Like said above, many times it is the best plan to find a car already done to YOUR requirements and save time ad money in many cases.
Body work is very labor intensive and materials are not cheap.
I'm 74 and I have built perfect. I am glad I have learned long ago, to do my own work, get rid of all rust, and make it a DRIVER!!!!!!
Bad part is when I want to sell one off, the buyer wants a $10,000 paint job for $3000 including the darn car!!!!! Mopar guys!!:poke::poke::poke::poke::poke::poke::poke:
