Evan:
Job one is to decide what you're going to use the car for. Concourse winner
or just get it running again?
If all you want is a weekend fun car, I'd say start fixing it up. But if
you're looking for a show car, don't waste your time. Sell the car and put
the money toward one that's already been restored. You'll get off a lot
cheaper in time, money and aggravation.
Trust me, I've been there to many times. Unless you enjoy spending every
spare weekend and evening under a car, don't even think about restoring it.
