Newbie with a 2dr.-88 & a 4 dr. S88 - 57's

I've been in Early Bronco World for the past 10 or so years!! I got 4 of those, a 66', 73', 74' & a 77'. Backed into a 57' 2 dr. Olds. sedan back in Dec. Started shopping for parts and picked up a 4 dr. parts rig. Trying to decide how far I can afford to go on a true resto vs a modified resto?? I know it's hard(or impossible) to get your money out of a total resto, more concerned about how much I'd be throwing away!!!!
I will appreciate any advice offered!!!!!

Welcome aboard.

You have 4 Bronco's and you are worried about 2 Oldsmobile's. you gotta know by now there is no money in building cars( trucks), the fun is all in the build and the pleasure you give others as you drive by wishing they had done what you have... Lost in the fifties.....Tedd

I like those ol Bronco's also. It's not about the money, it's about the car! If you like the car then throw some money and time at it!
