Okay, I'll chime in with the "wise" ass replies. First, figure out how much money you have to spend. Second, get all the catalogs you can, look at what you'll need to replace, add on body and paint costs and total it al up. Match this total of what you'll have invested in your restored vehicle against what it would cost you to buy one already restored. If the difference is less than five or six thousand, consider going ahead with your restoration. If it's over that, don't even start. If you don't have enough money, start a priority system for the restoration. Brakes are usually the best place to start. You want to be able to stop and not wreck your car while you're fixing it up. Second, or first again, would be getting a job. You'll spend way more than you'd think, even after having budgeted for the restoration. If you don't do mechanical work, take some classes at the local junior college. You'll be way ahead in the long run if your able to do at least some of the work yourself.
