Yes indeed that is what the hobby brings for most of us, I think. I spent the last couple of days fabbing and installing a panhard bar on my 69. It was a chore, for sure. I'm not as young as I used to be and after two days of climbing in and out from under the car I was beat last night but I got it done. If it works out it will be worth the trouble and mainly I just wanted to see if I could make it work. Probably would detract from the value in most restorer's eye but I'm not building them a car. There is alot of value in self satisfaction and a job accompished.
