Method for Starting a Project

oh, something i'd forgotten to mention before. depending on how project-y the car is, check that the paperwork sorted out before you drop a nickle into it.

make sure that the title is straight, your numbers are all correct and match what they're supposed to and that you don't owe a bajillion dollars in back fees or need an inspection or that it's a salvage title or whatever.

i knew a guy that bought a project that had been stolen in the late 80's early 90's. he'd spent a good amount of money getting it all together and making it enough of a roller to go get the CHP inspection for tags and title and it popped hot.

he got jammed up and had to go to court in order to get some of his money back on the parts he'd bought, but was out the full amount on the purchase and his time/labor.
