Restoration Help

I'm sure this is going to sound crazy, but hey, you never know unless you ask right? I have a '73 Mach I that needs restoring and I didn't know if there were people/companies/mustang clubs/investors, etc. that would assist someone (financially, possibly) in the restoration efforts, in any way really I suppose. My dad owned the car originally and then he gave it to me. I drove it to school, but it is now at my parents house not running, and actually getting in pretty bad shape, but I have no way of fixing it and of course I don't want to sell it and thought I would ask about this. If anyone knows of anything, I would greatly appreciate any information!

Try the local community college or vocational school. They generally do the work at drastically reduced prices. Of course, it takes forever.

You could check your local community colleges for a car restoration course/program. There are some that have a bunch of guys bring in cars for resto and provide instruction on welding, engine rebuilds, and upholstery using your own car for the project. I've been looking for one here in Chicago but never found it, but they do exist. Emanuel

Brian,

Nobody will give you a grant (aka: money) for working on your fathers car, yet you might want to consider contacting your local High School or Community College (if they offer a shop program) to see what type of project budget and plan you can work out together......Otherwise, you might reconsider selling it off and letting someone else do the restoration before there is nothing worth restoring left...........................Which would you rather know, the car is being restored and will be someones weekend toy, or that the car is wasting away in your yard, and it will end up in the junkyard one day......................
