CHAPTER THREE: — TIME FOR TIRE KICKIN’:
Time for an important bench test. As an enthusiast, I’m sure you’ve done your share and have gotten good at kicking tires. You’ve become skilled at sniffing out body filler. You know when a vehicle’s “right” and when a seller’s trying to pass a modified standard off as a limited-run classic. And, you know how to pick out a project with high potential. These skills are going to help you in the life restoration project we’ll walk through in this book. Before we move on, take a minute and turn your tire-kicking skills inward and get a bead on where you stand as a project. But, before you get too critical of yourself, remember that God fully understands your condition problems
Take a couple of minutes and roll yourself up onto the lift and perform a careful assessment of your personal starting point — and just like a car project, we’re all starting in different places. In the end, where you start doesn’t matter nearly as much as where you end.
Below you’ll find a variety of condition statements. Read them through and identify where you currently score in each area. And be honest. It doesn’t matter how many times a seller says a vehicle is rust free if it’s rusty. Also, be sure to take the online assessment on cargospel.com. It’ll allow you to track your progress and help me better understand how to continuously improve this book and the resto-mod tools available online
