Thanks for the help. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 45 Member | | Member Joined: May 2004 Posts: 45 | Jim- you would be much better off buying a truck thats already been restored. If somebody else has to do every bit of the resto work- you will probably go broke before its finished. On the other hand- every truck show I ever went too had fully restored trucks for sale- and at reasonable prices relative to what went into them. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 | Also, when you buy the already restored truck you get it now, not at least a year from now for the Restoration.
Maybe the guy you buy the restoration from will take your '36 in partial trade for the cost.

Jim | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | Jim, the guys gave you good advice, I own a restoration shop and I always tell people they can buy for less than having one restored. Some exceptions are muscle cars that are hot right now(thanks to Barrett-Jackson) or like a 57 Chevy convertible. I would have a trusted appraiser check one out for you so you get what your paying for and not something thrown together for selling only. The 3 or 4 hundred dollars for this is money well spent. Good luck.

At least that's what they say on their web site. Peg

AND
I've got a buddy who's 40 sedan has been in the shop going on 4 years now... so unless you are willing to pay top $$ to get it done fast, it's going to take a while.
Another quality post.

However, they are good and could probably get a really high quality restoration done in under a year, maybe less.
