I didn't say it wasn't worth driving, just not worth
restoring.  If the car was in mostly-complete and
working condition except for the rust, it would be
worth fixing the rust and the paint to keep it
running.

But it needs a lot more than that.
There's a big difference between a repair and a
restoration.  I've been doing the latter to a '31 Ford
for over two years now.  Have a look at what is
involved:  http://31ford.dougbraun.com
