Like my detecting it is a passion. Finding a decaying classic rotting away in some field and bringing it back to life is like pulling that long lost coin/jewelry/relic from the ground to be enjoyed again. Some people will still only see it as some old coins but most enjoy the beauty of a well crafted standing liberty or walking liberty.
I'm a driver quality restorer. I can't afford to restore these classic to car show quality, so I restore them to daily driver quality and let the next owner take it where they want. I remove the old seat vinyl and repair the seat foam best I can before putting the new skin on. I did this on a clad day so there are wrinkles, but some will go away in the sun. It is best to do seat covers on a hot day.
What I like is I get to drive many good old classics do this. Like all the different metal detectors I get to try. I really like the old mustangs because they were really well designed, and um... resale very well. I'm hoping sometimes I'll get my hands on a good old mopar but no luck yet.
I drove this pony to my folks last night and down to get gas. It is already a read head turner.
