I would say go for it. If the car means that much to you. Some cases of trying to do a resto on your own can be very overwhelming on you. I have seen guys take a complete running car apart to do a resto and decided not to finish but sell it.. I would say if you are going to do it then try to get most body work or metal work done on your own if you know how too. It helps to save money. Make a list of what you would need done or price a lot of places for certain parts depending on where you decide on starting on the car.Take a lot of pictures,bag and tag everything. I myself am working on my lemans and doing a on frame restoration but it can be overwhelming because its a lot to deal with. Its a lot of work and some parts are harder to get unless you find them on here lol.It all depends on your love and passion for these cars. I too will never sell this car.BTw Post some pics so we can see and get an idea of what your working with.
