Thumbs up Clean Finny !

That looks to be a nice car you have there , I await the details as you go through it .

NEVER consider what it might be worth as restoration co$t$ rarely meet sales value .

I used to restore cars in the 1970's as a labor of love or for Customers , I always told them it's cheaper to find a 5 ~ 10 year old full restoration .

FWIW , I'm old so I remember old ' Uncle Earl ' himself on the T.V. saying ' $29.95 ! in by 8 , out by 5 ! , no ups , no extras , $29.95 ! ' .

We'd use Earl Scheib on our used cars , we'd strip off the trim , bumpers and rubber stuff , then they'd actually look pretty darn good .
