    How many of you are doing your own restoration versus having someone else do the work ?

    Thank you Moparlee, I was just a small cog in the wheels of restoration. Did some metalwork along with another guy who likes to remain anonymous. He used to paint the cars as well but got ''burn out'' its a tough life indeed. I like the mechanical side as I'm a lifelong engineer. I personally...

    It always feels better when you do the work yourself! Some don't come out so well and won't win any prizes, But we saved them from the scrapyard to be turned into Honda lawn mowers...:mob: This is me in Hotrod mag grinding on a Daytona a $125,000 resto some twenty years ago.

    New guy from the Netherlands

    New guy from the Netherlands

    Nice one Rick, Lovely Challenger and a great colour too! You must be pleased as punch to dive her on those lovely flat roads. To me a 318 Challenger should be upgraded to a 340. Built some nice 318's here in England but the 340 is the best small-block around. I met a German guy at the...
