How can I learn to restore antique muscle cars and motorcycles?

And learn to do it well? I want to get paid for it.

You can do like most.

Buy an old car or motorcycle. Find a shop manual, and all the magazines you can afford. Tear into the thing, trying not to do too much irreparable damage. Then put it back together according to the directions. Do it often enough, you will eventually learn.

only through experience you become GOOD. not all motors are build equal and every customer wants something different plus you need to know what is in the market.

I spend 30 years of hard work and many thousands of us dollars( in tech. schools) to learn.
metal molding
metal fabrication
machinist ( lot of ma thematic)
body and paint work.
welding and soldering (arc.mig,tig,soldering.)
auto mechanics ( extensive field to cover)
shop running and investing.
budgeting and accounting
blue print ,designing.

I am a self made multimillionaire is true but it took me a long run and oily hands all the time..
I do not recommend You to follow those steps ,You better go to college.

yea, right.!!!

do not listen to the guys on television doing restoration they are pretending that is easy. believe me is not .
I know how to do that, better than them , and is not easy for someone new ( a rookie)
