Ken,I could not have stated it better myself! The only thing I would add is that there must be something in the genes that sparks interest in such activity. Otherwise, one's interest would be elsewhere. As far back as I can remember, I have been fascinated by machinery, be it tractors, cars, trucks, you name it. I remember standing in a Junk yard when I was about twelve and looking at the rows of old Packards, Cadillacs, Fords, etc, and thinking, What a shame, because many of them were easily fixable. As I grew older and began reading about the history of many brands, it dawned on me that these people designed and built all this without computer aided design,and all the other things that make it so much easier today. I have never been financially able to begin a restoration project, but I do have several projects patiently rusting, er,I mean, waiting to be restored, that should keep me busy for the rest of my life. So, my friend, keep the faith, you have lots of company, either actively restoring, or just cheering from the sidelines.
