how much these cost and how difficult to put together?

what you would think of someone who put these together as a hobby and sold them?

It took too much time and money.

My 76 years old grandpa has a Jaguar type E convertible.

He is still trying and says it’s difficult.

His best hobby, grandma say anything about it *+*

I really want to restore cars as a hobby, but my dad doesn’t know more than basic maintenance and the only people in my family that know about cars are my grandparents who live 2 hours away. Is there any kind of online class or formal class that can teach me? I am still a teen, and I’m going to college in a few years, and I was thinking about possibly doing automotive technology as a major or minor.
Any ideas?
I’m not into books that much, but if there is a certain one or series that you think could help, you can include those.

Start making friends w/ people who do that type of work and learn from them. Paint & body is a little more complicated and there are classes available at most community colleges. Experience and getting your hands dirty are necessities for complete auto restoration. Start reading car magazines and tinkering w/ an old car if you can. Ask questions.

and how profitable you think?

and how you can learn to build them? do the kits come with instructions?

how much do you think people would pay you to build them for them? and where you could find customers at?

btw, is this popular in Britain?

You need to be a very good mechanic, also able to do body work, paint, electrical and interiors. They don’t come in kits, you need to find old cars and restore them. Customers depend on the economy, but you can get about ten thousand dollars for a very good car. But if you take in the time and materials you put into it, you won’t make money. Restoring old cars is a hobby that you have to like doing for its own sake.

i find it silly that people spend months or longer fixing a car that will never be as fast as current cars or as reliable.
and after watching an informing episode of top gear sounds like torture to drive.

for example i heard in illinois you can only put so many miles on them per year

Yes, individual states have differing rules on how many miles you can accumulate a year on a car that is registered with classic/antique/historic vehicle license plates. If you don’t register the car as a classic or antique, you can put as many miles on it as you want.

By the way, classic car insurance policies for those vehicles also have restrictions on how many miles the car can be driven in a month or year. If you buy regular vehicle insurance for an antique car, you can drive as much as you want. But they will only cover the vehicle for the current used car value of the car, which may be less than the car is actually worth based on the fact that it is a classic or collector car.

You can check out the antique car registration policies per state at the following link:

There are a lot of ads at the top of the page but enter the state in the upper right hand corner search box and when it goes to the next page, scroll down to find links to the info you need.

I think I heard them say something about this but they wont run it at the Glenn and one other track.

Who will be the first Ford driver to win this year in cup. Carl almost (2nd) last week and Kasey second the week before.

The FR9 will be used by most of the teams except road courses and short tracks. Carl is great in Atlanta. If no Ford wins until then, Carl win be the first Ford to win, but someone like Allmendinger might surprise everyone. He runs top 20 almost every week.

I lookin for an older hatchback car like the chevy citation..but i dont know the names of any

Three other cars were built on the Citation platform: Buick Skylark, Olds Omega and Pontiac Phoenix. The Pontiac was the only other one that came as a hatchback. These cars were criticized for being of very poor quality, but I had an ‘81 Citation four-door hatchback, and I thought it was a great car. I had one weird problem with it; sometimes when I used the wipers or turn signals, the cruise control kicked in by itself, so I just unhooked that.
The early J-cars - Cavalier, Firenza, Skyhawk and J2000/Sunbird - were also available as hatchbacks.
Also ‘74 to ‘93 Mustangs and the coolest ones of all - ‘75 to ‘80 Chevy Monza, Pontiac Sunbird, Buick Skyhawk and Olds Starfire. I hate seeing one of these on craigslist, because I want another one so bad and I don’t have the money. Good luck with your hunt.

Cost to own an auto repair shop in California.

Rough estimate w/rent - utilities - advertising - insurance - at least 100,000 per year.

i live in suburbs of chicago and am car shopping, i looked at ford escapes but seem to be out of my price range. so i was wondering how well an actual ford car performs in the snow?

I have the Ford Focus and it handles really well in snow. Like any car, you have to take it easy and go slow, but I’ve had my Focus for three winters now, and I drive on bad country roads in the snow, and I’ve only spun out once. I really like it!
