- Looks like this topic struck a chord, everybody chimed in. And let me set some perspective. A friend of mine works on model A's. My favorite quote of his is, 'To get restoration right, you have to re

- --snippetry-- Terry, this might be the worst advice you ever got, but it's sincere: Hope I'm not being nosy; I mostly just lurk here. I'm restoring a Victor TF for a friend and using it for transport

- Yes, I think cost DOES matter. I don't want to put $25,000 into a car that will be worth $15, 000!! I've restored two t-cars, a '51 and a '55 and did not get financially upside-down in either. Howeve

- If you're looking to justify this on economic grounds you are going to be disappointed. If, on the other hand, you can accept the fact that this is a hobby that costs money, like golf or fishing or a

- I'm curious what happens when someone like Tim acquires a T Series that will cost, oh, say $20k to restore and yet will have a value of but $18k when complete. Does he canibalize it or just send it t

- Easy answer. He doesn't acquire it in the first place. There are still restorable $4,000 to $6,000 T series cars out there that can be restored on a budget if you do all the work yourself, like Tim d

- I guess I should clarify. I plan on putting 18k into my TD over the next three years, and but for the paint job; the rest is just parts. Having learned TD's on my Gramps and Father's knees, and parl
