    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.

    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......................
