Thought of one other thing. If you do get started in the restoration business, don't EVER get talked into compromising you quality by the customer. I restored a Minneapolis Moline for a fellow who wanted to know blow by blow what I was doing, which was OK by me. The sheet metal was badly pitted and was going to require a lot of time filling and sanding. I made the mistake of telling him that, and he did not see the value in doing so. After much discussion, I caved and did not do all the prep work that I should have. He got a shiny paint job, but the pits stood out like a sore thumb. He was happy as a clam, and even got two large magnetic signs stating that his tractor was restored by me. Now, the customer was happy with the end result, but I was not, and now he is advertising that this is the kind of work I produce. I still cringe when I see that tractor knowing that I could have done a better job. I don't know how many customers I have lost, if any, due to that tractor. Basically, don't put out anything that you wouldn't want your name on.
