[Restoration can be therapeutic and a great hobby]

True. I even imagine at times that once a car or other vehicle has been restored and the inital elation wears off, there may even be a sense of ‘let down’.

I was always trying something to make vehices run faster, ride better, handle better

I never obcessed about having the body or paint in concours mint condition

If I could not drive it on salted ice or snow or in the rain it was useless to me

It’s a car

Not a bronze statue or an oil painting

I’d never collect oil paintings either

Antique Colt handguns - well.....

This is true but the elation returns when a buyer pulls out that big roll of cash. : )
