Justin, as a bodyman/ painter/ restorer with 40 years of experience, I would advise you to have fun with what you are doing . The skills necessary to do this should serve you well thru life.I know could have done other things in life that would have made me more money, but the satisfaction of completeing a major restoration and starting another is something that many careers don't match up to. I have a lot of my customers come from some distance and pass other bodyshops to get to me, and that is satisfying too.More times than I can remember I have pointed out to customers that they could probably buy an already completed car for many thousands less but so far that has not discouraged any one I have worked for. Until you get to restoreing for others and your projects are your own fix up what YOU want. I for one haven't seen a 58 Ford since I was 5 years oldand I think it sounds like a great learning experience and it won't be a belly-button car {everybody else has one} Lets see some photos of your work.. Heres one of what I have been working on.
