Back in the early 80's I was given a 68 fastback mustang, (long story). 3 speed, with a 302 BOSS engine. I really didn't know what it was, but me and a friend did some work, mostly cleaning, and painting.
ended up selling it for 5K, which at the time at 23 YO, was a lot. Man I wish I knew today what I didn't know then. That car is worth a fortune. meh, such is life.

I was never into car shows, until my step dad turned me onto them.
He's over the years rebuilt some 60"s MG's, a few Jaguars from that era.
He's done some amazing work.
Anyway, He's been part of a "group" for lack of a better word, who also restore collectibles.
And he took me to quite a few shows, where they show them off.
After a while I got a flair for them.
I don't know shit about the restoration thing, but I've learned to admire the work some do.
Now I'm a big fan.

Fun, I love checking it out.. see what’s coming out and getting to compare.
