[Grumpy old man]

Post a picture of what your starting with to restore , lots of guys/ girls go out and find the best deal they can ( lowest price) only to later realize later on the rust bucket they bought will soon become a money pit and they quickly lose interest when all the hidden corrosion becomes apparent . Usually right after they invested tons of $ on shiny parts ! The days of $1,000.00 paint jobs are gone and many find out their plans for a weekend cruiser on a ibudget will never happen . You can buy a nice truck already cleaned up for way less cash than any total restoration and be driving years ahead without the headaches and heartbreak of trying to restore a 50 year old truck . All the comments above are true , most of the members can attest to the serious amount of time /money/dry space it takes to bring one back and be happy with a quality finished truck .
