    Welcome.
    That's great you kept it all these years.
    Yes, it's gotten to the point where people won't drive them much, if at all with what they are now worth.
    Post some pix when you have a chance and do not hesitate to ask for assistance - there are a lot of very knowledgeable people here.

    Welcome aboard! There are many varying opinions about what level of restoration each car needs...if any restoration at all. It all depends upon the preference of the owner and the condition of the car. Some people prefer a solid "driver" while others prefer a "show car." Some prefer originality and some prefer that new paint shine. Please tell us about your car and I'm sure you'll receive plenty of good advice and lots of opinions to think about before you begin any work.
