I said the car was junk and it was. Not when he finished it. How many multimillion-dollar cars have you built? How many $126,500 cars have you built. I'm not jealous of anybody's work. I love great work. If they take pride in their work great. Guess your mama never taught you about respect. Or you just didn't get it. There's a lot of rusted up junk up here. Just visit the junk yard, Gee I wonder why they call it that?

Please. You’ve shown no respect to anyone in this thread and you certainly don’t deserve any from me.

The final sale price of a car doesn’t necessarily represent the skill of the person doing the restoration or even the quality of the restoration itself. I’ve seen cars restored to much higher levels than some “million dollar car” that will never see that kind of money simply because of the make and model of the car that was restored, and I’ve seen million dollar cars that clearly hadn’t been restored by real professionals but got that money just because of some dumb option that made them “rare” and a couple of investors pretending to be cars guys that wee bidding against each other.

If you were truly a skilled professional, you’d understand that. And again, if you won’t take on a project that requires that level of work, well, you don’t have those skills. If you’ve never done it you’ve got no clue what it takes.
