I currently have $11,500 into my 1967 F00 SWB. It was lots of chassis work done to it and I just bought $2,000 worth of parts to upgrade the motor. I am stoping when I hit the $15,000 mark for sure. :lol:

Like Tim Allen quoted: I restore vehicles that have no value compared to what is invested,but it is the passion that keeps me going:

Well after reading everyone else's dollar amount "invested" I am feeling a little sick to my stomach. I have pretty much made every mistake possible over the last 5 years, made mistakes, got ripped off by some people, and did stuff the wrong way then the right way......So if I had to guess I would say my total bill will be just over $40K, and when you see the finished product (hopefully sometime soon) you will wonder how the heck I wasted that much cash on a relatively simple restore....but I did it....YAY ME!! :lol:

What the heck, you only live once right?......or something like that.

The saying that I often tell myself is this one:

Do you know how to make a small fortune restoring vehicles? Start with a large fortune...... :D
