Yes you do. There's not a lot of return in an average car restore if you do it right. This is my third restro. I've done a 1965 olds dynamic 88 convertible and a 1968 mustang GT Convertable. I just happen to really like this 69 firebird. But debating on unloading it. I'll prolly just end up keeping it and finishing it out for a play car if I don't find a buyer without loosing my [censored] to bad. Couple body shop guys I know have always said you have to do it for the love , because it's cheaper to buy one already done and there's a lot truth in that.
