Re: [FWDLK] A THOUGHT TO PONDER....

[Larry Gardinier <gardinier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's YOUR car, do it YOUR way! Be creative too,please. I love Christine and the General Lee but I don't need to see another one. I'm currently building a 65 Satellite and I'm not touching the original scratched up, dinged and dented body. I am checking/fixing mechanicals and installing a fresh interior. Now I'll be able to park it and drive it wherever I want without worrying about the paint. I have a couple of show cars too and it gets tiring trying to keep them cleaned and waxed and hoping not to screw up the paint. With a fresh interior it doesn't smell and it's clean so my wife and kids can ride with me.

Hi gang. Gotta question and wondered what y'all thought about this. It's concerning the future plans for my 57 Dodge

 

I've pretty much decided if I keep it, that I not restore it, but keep it pretty much as it is. The body is presentable as-is, mechanically OK, would like to upgrade the brakes, interior is pretty much as it was new, except the seat bottom needs fixed. Maybe someday replace the rockers, fenders (which I already have) and general upgrades.

 

There's just something about the car being in it's pretty much original state, and has drawn much attention that way. Being a 4 door sedan and not a body style desirous of most, I thought it would be suitable to leave it status-quo.

 

Your thoughts about restoring/not restoring, perhaps "restification" is the world I'm looking for.
