I will add this, the person buying a truck and driving it to one show every year and maybe to one of his club monthly meetings is not going to put much wear and tear or need much in expenditures to keep it running.
The person that uses his truck for a daily driver regardless of his initial costs to put the truck on the road will have costs due to it's daily use.
I think that in this case those costs need to be kept separate from restoration costs.
So if it cost a person $5,000 to buy and restore his truck, that is what he has invested into it.
Now if he uses that truck daily for the next ten years and it costs him $5,000 to keep it running. He did not invest $10,000 in the truck.
Invested $5,000 in the truck.
He spent $5,000 on the truck to use it.
