[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1661907, member: 7539"] Sorry to hear about the problems Robert. Sounds like they've been using your stated 20K budget as their own little stimulus program. I'd sure consider taking it somewhere else to finish and making sure that costs are reconciled and agreed before I paid one more dime. I had dreams of restoring my Dad's old car once and your story brought back similar memories of all the good times I remember about that car too. In the end, it I decided it was just too far gone and would take far too much time & money to restore it than I had at the time. I still have the memories. The car would have been nice to stimulate those memories, but in the end it wasn't the actual car that mattered. Sounds like you're hoping the car will help you build some more experiences and memories with your Dad and Grandpa and that's worth whatever you're able to afford, but realize that you can also build those things without the car being absolutely perfect too. Hope it works out where you can get some peace over it all. [/QUOTE]
