It is only worth what someone that has no mechanical skills may be willing to pay.

You will be lucky to get the cost of the parts back out of this project

These vehicles have a regional market .

Define what a complete restore means to you .

To me it means the body is taken off the frame and one goes from there.:jessica::jessica::jessica:

Good luck

I wish the best. Just don't be like the craigslist post I saw last week here the guy had put 150,000 into the truck and was asking 32,000. Which is a small percentage of the population would even consider buying a 25 year old truck at 32k. Like the others have said its a tough business. good luck

I have always understood the definition of restored as bringing a vehicle to as new stock condition.

What is your skill set? Photos of previous work? Do you do it right or dice and splice wiring?

A friend of mine does Concourse de Elegance restorations and his shop turns out 3-4 cars a year, sometimes working on a project for 6+ months. He charges a buttload and has a long waiting list because people know the quality of his work.

To add to that, what's the point of a lifted restoration? Who is going to spend a ton on a frame off just to beat on it? Then your choice of lift, etc. unless you are going for the fifteen chrome shock fan club, why bother?

Ztank

the lift on it did not bend the frame at all it was just bolt ons and my skill set is we have a familly owned shop for almost 40 years now with no bad reviews and we care about quality

Ztank

yea we do that to we do restorations as side work we we only do one a year though because of the amount we go into them the one we are working on now has a little over 120k into it i will post pics later
