Our club went to visit a shop in Gainesville, TX.
He rebuilt a old Ferrari race car from the 50s and took it to a concours in Italy and won first place. He does everything right there in his shop. He does the chrome work and even fabricates windshields for old rare Ferraris or Mercedes. I asked him how much of a car does he need to have to restore. He said all he needs is clear title and a large checkbook. He said it helps to have some of the original car but it is not vital. He was building a Ferrari 512 BB that was burned in a very hot garage fire. He said all the aluminum was melted and there was really nothing left that was useable. He told the client it would be way cheaper to buy a replacement but the owner loved that serial number of that car. It had some special meaning to the owner.
