Had an interesting chat with a couple of fellas from the vintage restoration place where buzzy is learning about restoration techniques. They do proper old Bentleys and other such delights, so aren't of the "filler, old newspapers and a lick of 2 pack" variety of rebuilder thankfully.
They are up for doing the restoration of the old girl, to get it all done and back on the road (its been off the road since 1955), but it wouldn't be a cheap exercise so I think I need to have a bit of think. It'd mean some of the other stuff going thats the only downside 
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I can't imagine it would be cheap but what a crowd puller it would be when finished!
Maybe you could manage with that and just one other classic? Or perhaps if you have to pay incrementally you can find new homes for the others as and when.
It would certainly be nice to see the Dodge restored and might possibly bring in some kind of revenue when finished? |

Hi
OOO selling stuff, now that is bad, us hoarders don't sell, we only buy!!
Which would have to be sold? Or is that what you are thinking about.
Sure would be good to see the dodge running and legal again!
Cheers

Hi
If you get rid of stuff, how long will it take you to fill all of your new found garage space!??
Cheers
Dave
P.S... I agree that getting the Dodge looking good is a excellent idea though!! |

"not fill it up again....."
Good luck with THAT one then, LOL! I tried that once. Sold a car, made some space. Within a year, I had 2 MORE cars! So I learned not to attemp to get rid of anything, lest it double and return!
I like the idea of paying for the resto over time. |

Hmmmm if only it was the same with money 
Rick. ...the old girl is one of a kind and needs to be shown to the world in all her glory. I know how hard it will be getting rid of your other vehicles but there will be others like them and you never know...you might be in the position in the future to buy them back. |

Hi
So what are you parting with?
When are you sending it over, will be a really interesting project!
