How to buy a classic long distance

Great question! I was just lamenting to the little woman that I somehow never learned to weld.

I was a nut buster through my 20s. VW, early Jag, lots of British Leyland, and Detroit steel. Real good with wiring. Mechanically, a 60's Dart would be old home week. I keep pretty much everything repaired I've ever owned from motorcycles to boats and airplanes.

I'm a lost sole when it comes to body work and upholstery though.

That's more the reason to put your eyes on it then..... Body condition has sent more than one project to the scrapyard.... And if you don't feel comfortable about what your looking at find someone who is and you can trust. Be careful on upholstery. OEM original stuff is always good to start with and if you want to head in a different direction that's OK too. The problem with OEM is finding certain components and then hoping you don't break the wallet doing so.....
