Restoration: Would you do it again?

[sYc Yenko]

My 2 cents is, If one was to restore a car, There heart would have to be in it, And you would have to enjoy doing it. No matter the end result, If it turns out good or bad, atleast you can say, I enjoyed doing that. But like one of the posts above mine, a guy says, have 2, One for your hobby to restore, And one that you drive. Thats what I do.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]Yes I have done at least one resto job. But when it comes to modifing the body or motor. I let someone else do the tough work. like the 68 396 I'm doing now. I'm installing a 4L60E on it with carooz control. And I don't have any clue on how to install that stuff. So I allow the experts do it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img] Big Dawg

Ya, I'd do it again. The last one I did was about 3 years ago and I still got some sand blasting sand in the crack of my ass! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Buy one that is done!! I restored a couple of cars a few years ago but had my Yenko done by an expert so that I would not screw anything up! Better to get it right the first time than have to go back and do it over again. Before buying one already done just make sure you are getting what you pay for. If you are buying a high end car that is supposed to be matching number etc. it pays to have an expert check the car over for you. The only advantage of doing it yourself is that you know exactly what you got. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]
