[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3272006, member: 796"] Yes, and I'll never do another as rusty as what I started with on a 67 Dodge RT. I'd start with a complete listing of all the mechanical issues. Suspension, steering, brakes. Drivetrain! Then get a realistic idea of what the sheet metal problems are. This is where I missed the boat, and had to replace huge sections when we got into the sanding. Had to get a donor car. Pain in the posterior. My car was a $40k appraisal Dodge RT when finished but I sold a 73 Chrysler in better starting shape because it was not a specialty car. Not worth restoring. The reality is the cost of restoration is higher than the cost of a clean used car. If you can find what you want. [/QUOTE]
