[QUOTE="MR.T., post: 3272304, member: 4793"] With my projects, The 1st was my 69 Charger, that is seen in my avatar picture. I did probably 20% of the work on the restoration of that car. The rest was hired out. I watched & learned a few things along the way. The 2nd car was my dads 74 Coronet. I did probably 30 to 40% of the work on that car. I learned a few more things along the way. 3rd was a 77 Dodge Monaco, to go along with my 1st car, the General has a prop now known as Roscos squad car. I did probably 75% of the work on that car. Now, restoring a 57 Chevy pickup, which was my moms dads truck, I am doing 98 to 99% of the work on this one. The only thing that I will not have done will be the machine work on the engine, & installing the front windshield. Next I have a Dodge Warlock & a Dodge Li'l Red Express to finish. Then I want to build my racecar out of another 69 Charger I have sitting, & a 49 Dodge Truck that I wanna put a new frame under, make it 4x4 & a ratrod vibe. And I'll be doing every possible thing I can myself on the upcoming projects. I don't see a benefit of hiring someone to do something on a vehicle that I can figure out & do myself. Even if I have to spend some money to get a special tool to do the job, that is what I will do. I sure hope thats everything on my list. I'm vehicle rich, but just too poor to get them finished in a timely manner. [/QUOTE]
