The question's that arise during this decision can be overwhelming, street rod, traditional resto-rod, original, what style will hold it's value best, how is the body, is it all steel, how was the body before the restoration, who did it, what is the quality, is it tastefully done or overdone, can you drive it, does it retain it's factory style with modern comfort/safety conveniences and so on...
