Don't you have garage?

Why would you want to give someone else the pleasure and satisfaction when you could do it yourself?

And all of your hard earned money?
Honestly, I would have to pickup a book and some tools. Several years ago (maybe 15), I asked the local body shop what they would charge for an off the frame restoration... try $10,000 plus parts and supplies. I sure could use that labor money in my own pocket.

I don't have a garage, but I am going to restore my 72 F250, 63 F-100 unibody, and my 63 Mercury Meteor. The only work I plan on farming out is paint and building my drivetrain.
