I hear the sentiment of getting bored after completing a restoration from other people too. I don't have that problem...I never complete any of mine, only customers at work and I'm usually way beyond ready for them to leave... I would LOVE to get a few of mine to a level of completion that they are nice drivers.



Don't you have room to keep it and feed your need to work on something with a new project ? A '69-70 Chevelle would be a cool project, but anything fairly clean and solid seems to be rather expensive just to start with.

Yes I have room, and yes...certain projects are expensive to start with.

I tell everyone, I'm a hobbyist...not a collector. In saying that, I do like building solid lifter cars. More often than not, they end up being restored well into the 6-figure range, and rather than beat on them when they are freshly done, I'm more likened to moving them along and perhaps trying to recoup my costs when a car is fresh.

It's a strange yet addictive hobby (and an expensive one most of the time). Sometimes I question my own sanity when it comes to starting another frame off restoration, as I know full well where that's gonna end up.

Upside down.
