  1. I appreciate all the input and advice. I will say that I am not completely lost around cars, in fact I am comfortable doing many repairs outside of major engine and electrical work. You hit the nail on the head as the interior was changed/redone by the previous owner. The plan is for myself and my friend to do a run through and check list before looking for shops. The goal would be to have a solid running/mechanical car and like you said do upgrades/repairs as we go along.
  2. Hi Guys, Life has come at me and my family fast and hard this year, as with many other families. In July, my Mother-in-law lost her year and a half long battle with Pancreatic Cancer. A few months prior to her passing she had been talking about restoring her 1948 Plymouth Special De Luxe 4-door. She had owned the car for around 30 years and had not driven it since ~1995. Our assumption is that the engine has not be started/ran since this time. This past weekend we had the car brought our house. Overall the car is intact and the interior is in relatively good shape. My wife and I are prepared to get the car back into operational order. I do not have the time, tools nor overall mechanical ability to complete a light restoration so I am asking for thoughts on what cost we could be looking at to take it to someone for the work. The work would include engine overhaul/rebuild, transmission rebuild, electrical/wiring, brakes, suspension, tires and light interior upholstery work. Just looking for a rough cost estimate or pointing me to a previous thread that may have this info already. Thank you for your input!
