Kamikaze_Badger Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Go to your local car enthusiast (there has to be one!) or auto-body shop. Make sure you talk to us before buying anything from them, though. Some people will tryto rip you off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciddono Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Start researching. Right now yoiu may not be able to DO anything, but you can start making a plan on what needs to be done and how to go about doing/getting it donw. Try going to a few car shows before the end of the season. From that you can garner what it takes/took to get antique vehicles to that level.

bigred Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) ooooh heres an idea, you do bigred's job for a month, and get him to take care of it i mean hey your only over in chicago dfi boy 508684[/snapback] what job? right now I'm a silent partner. I don't have to do jack but put up the bank roll. my "project" isn't so much restoring... it's more of butchering a vehicle. which reminds me, if I plan to take the 78 to the classic truck show this month I better get the EFI swapped out and put the carb back on it... such a silly rule. at least I have it repainted to a factory availible color now... they can't cry about that too.
