Second to the thrill of the hunt, which is finding that elusive classic or holy grail piece of automotive history in a shed, barn or back ally garage, is creating contrast. Taking a rat shit filled old jalopy, rusted into the ground car, and getting it back on the road. In addition, is seeing the before and after or your hard work after a complete or even partial restoration. Be it a piece of jewelry, furniture, house, or a classic muscle car.
