make it new or leave it alone ?
I have owned my 66 for 10 years next month i have toyed with the idea of a full restoration but for two reasons i have not yet done it #1 i do not have the money to do it in a timely manner #2 the amount of money that it would cost [me doing most everything] would out weigh the value of the car. So i have been driving it and having fun with it all these years, i did all the safety stuff converted to disk on the front, rebuilt brakes,suspension and made it dependable eventually the engine and transmission will be rebuilt [engine bay cleaned up and painted] and that'll be it [maybe]. It is not an original paint/interior car but its a cosmetic restoration done in 1996 that is still fairly presentable. Your car looks perfect to me i would drive the wheels off it as is!!!!!!.
