I have done many restorations thru the years. I made money on some and lost on others. Several of them would have made me wealthy If I had stored them and maintained them for 30+ years but I always needed the money to buy more cars and take care of my family. Many times I was asked how much a certain restoration was worth and I always responded "scrap metal price unless someone was willing to pay more". Anything is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.
