To be or not to be

Usually I have to get burned before I learn, so Bill McKenna's Car Restoration Site is a little sobering. It's easy to dream about tearing an old car apart, cleaning and polishing everything, and then putting it back together again, but it's much harder to appreciate the sweat equity that goes along with all that. Well, a couple hundred photos over ten years of restoration (of a 1959 Cadillac and a 1963 XKE) helps with that.

Or you could just lean into the punch and drop the price of a house (admittedly, a house in fly-over country - how appropriate) on this mini-Spitfire kit.
