Method for Starting a Project

I play with these cars for fun. I’ve done one 100 point restoration, lost my *** on it. So, now my cars are drivers, that said- 1. Make it STOP. 2. Make it STEER. 3. Make it RUN. 4. Make it PRETTY. That’s how I do them, one step at a time! HAVE FUN!

Back in the late 70's (I think) I found a little tidbit in either Hot Rod or Car Craft that goes something like this:

When building a car your priorities should be:
1. Safety
2. Reliability
3. Performance

And always in that order.
