[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16227029, member: 181885"] Read this. Look at my sig. Then read this quote again, because it's 100% true. Even the most "rotisserie restored, 100% concourse restoration" is going to have problems. You're going to get excited, order a part, and find out that what should have been a 15 minute afternoon dopamine fix turns into a wrench-throwing curse-inventing pain in the ass. The cars have history and they're really not very comfortable. Manufacturing sucked in comparison to today's level of precision, so fitment on most things isn't that great either. On the plus side, it's at least simple. Can it be rewarding? Absolutely. I haven't hit that point yet, but I'm hoping. So, ask yourself- are you planning on expending your entire budget looking for a "perfect" car that isn't really "perfect," or can you settle for a driver's car that runs, isn't perfect, but doesn't drain the bank? Just be aware, taking on a full restoration is a bank account draining experience and [i]not [/i]an investment in most cases. [/QUOTE]
