1978 dodge power wagon?

do you guys think i should go against what my dad says?

9 times out of 10 Dad is usually right. I wish I would have listened to mine a few more times when I was younger. If the two of you talk about it and it seems like a lot of work and money without a lot of value at the end, then maybe another project is best. Hard to say. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do.
