	New ones are $179 each from Stephen Allen. If I also need a motor, which I don't know yet, I could be putting $500 just to get it up and down. I just bought a new top (it had the original) and it will cost $400 to get it installed. When does it end? The message I heard years ago from a professional restoration guy was, don't restore, by one restored. Was he ever right.

	Reality bites, doesn't it. Then, when interest wanes, and selling it becomes more interesting than finishing it, the vultures will come out and try to pick the still warm carcass and tell you all that work is worthless. That may sound harsh, but in reality...... If you love the building process, or the restoring process, then it is a journey...adventure...and a challenge that makes it a quest.... But if all you want is a cool car (Studebaker around here)...... Then buying one finished, even if it has to be financed, is the way to go. At least then you can drive and enjoy your Stude while paying it off. A grand for a working convertible top? Chump change for a restoration, and it will add more than a grand to the resale price (or a non-working top will cause a deduction of more than a grand. Not picking on you, mind you....Agreeing with your friend is more like it. Jeff ( Finished gets more appealing every day) Rice "Don Smith" wrote...> New ones are $179 each from Stephen Allen.

My brother has a chance to repurchase his own 1970 Javelin SST 360 4-spd Cold Air inducted. He said he wanted it but didn't want to put a lot of money into it. I told him not to do it. My 64 Convertible started out as fun. It has sort of evolved into the car I wanted in 1964. It was Laguna Blue, Brown Interior, 259 2-bbl,4-SPD, Beanch Seat, Manual Brakes & Steering. It has evolved into: Bourdeaux Red, Red Interior, 259 4-bbl, 4 spd, Aluminum Flywheel, Electronic ignition, Power Steering & Brakes, Bucket Seats & Console. It is not cheap but how many other ones like it are on the road, and its mine.> "Don Smith" wrote...> > New ones are $179 each from Stephen Allen.

The problem with this is: YOU are buying SOMEONE ELSES dream of a car.. You NEVER know how it was built, rebuilt, bondo'd, short-cutted, slapped together, etc... It may be "cheaper"... but is it really worth it? Ray <.. had a "rebuilt engine" go south in less than 20 minutes...
