Indeed, I do understand the dream. It can be frustrating to know the car can't be completed with the snap of one's fingers. I'm a very impatient person and I wore my poor hubby out during Baby's restoration. LOL!

This is what Baby looked like when we first got it. Well, hubby had already replaced the original hubs and brakes with wheels and disc brakes by the time this photo was snapped.

It looks a LOT better in the photo than it did in reality. It sat, neglected, in a shed for 18 years before hubby found it. We didn't do a frame-off restoration but it was just shy of it.

Hang in there. Before you know it, you'll be turning heads as you cruise along in your classics, making people wish THEY were lucky enough to have one too. Some will go all out to achieve that dream, like we have, and keep the classics alive. :-)

Nice rides! Working on these old cars is a fun, sometimes nerve-wracking but never ending chalenge. Though they make it look so easy on the Speed channel. Much like fixing up an old house, you’ll end up spending more $$$ than anticipated.
