Restoration...

[PhyrPh0enix]

So, I bought a '72 F-250 Camper today... Am I a bad person if I already want to rip it apart and do a complete restoration!? I think I need mental help!

These trucks are best driven, but do what you will.

I know... but I found some body rust and I can't unsee it!

I've seen quite a few people buy a truck, tear it apart for restoration & ten years later its still torn apart. I would drive it for a while to make sure it is what I really want.

Because I'm guilty...

downside to being a perfectionist
restore one section at a time but get the brakes, engine, lights, etc. working good right away and drive it.

My bump is a rolling/driving restoration. But, the essentials come first for safety and roadworthiness. This way you can drive/enjoy it and it only keeps getting better the more you get into the "restoration".
