[Tigers] Should I buy a Tiger?

[arado7 at sbcglobal.net]

My cars don't rust including my rust free Tiger. I use Waxoyl from England@
Moss Motors. I also use it on tools,  guns and leather.  Gary Moore B9472283

IMO, unless you do ALL your own work, and shop around for serious deals on
parts and stuff... You can almost never build a tiger or anything else for
less than it's worth... But then again, for alot if us, that's not why we do
it right? But on the other hand... Coming up with a few thousand at a time
once every couple of months is easier for some than coming up with 35 grand
all at once...

I agree, for that tigers condition, 3 to 5 grand. Of you can work metal,
don't
let the rust scare you, it's no different than changing brakes... Take out
the
bad, put in the good.  And all cars rust, just some more than others or
sooner...
