I appreciate the comments made in this discussion. As Brent and others have said, a good restoration or antique vehicle mechanic is not only known for what he can do, but for what he doesn't do. He doesn't scratch it, nick it, dent it, dirty it, or tear it up. He knows where the problems will probably be based on experience, and will look for those he hasn't seen before. Working on something that is 80 to 90 years old, is an art in itself.

We do restoration work in our shop, and the only thing we get in a hurry for, is coffee. Any potential customer that doesn't understand that time is the most important thing they are buying, has to go on down the road.
