I use the term "restoration" rather broadly.  My "restoration" work loosely falls into the following kinds of activities:

• Fixing stuff that's broke

• Replacing stuff that's broke

• Making stuff that isn't broke work better/smoother

• Making stuff that isn't broke look better

• Hiring other people to do any of the above that I don't have the know-how to do, don't have the tools to do, or just don't want to do

During the course of my research (more on that later) I have come to the conclusion that there are 3 basic types of restoration -- Puritanical, Prudent, and Unique.

Puritanical -- Disassembling the entire vehicle, then putting it back together so it looks better than it did when it came off the assembly floor, while at the same time, striving to maintain originality in every detail.  These vehicles usually spend their post-restoration lives in trailers and/or garages in between beauty shows.

Prudent -- Returning the vehicle to good mechanical condition and cosmetic appearance but not striving to return every part to "factory" condition or trying to maintain 100% originality.  These vehicles are drivers, some daily and others only occasionally (usually when the weather's nice), but they are always driven.

Unique -- This often involves complete disassembly also but the final product has little resemblance to the original.  These are the "head-turners" with big wheels, big engines, and fantastic paint jobs.

In reality, most people wind up doing a little of each type of restoration -- puritanical where you can, prudent where you have to, and maybe a little unique thrown in just for fun.  

With Maych's restoration, I'm striving for a combination of puritanical and prudent, with a heavy emphasis on the prudent.  I want to keep him as original as practical, but I don't want to restore it to the point where I'm afraid to drive it.  It won't be a daily driver but I want to drive it often.   The puritanical part of the restoration means I will not be adding anything that did not come stock on the vehicle -- no HEI ignition, rally wheels, headers, chrome plated air cleaner, bucket seats, etc.  The prudent part of the restoration means I won't insist that every part I replace has to be a genuine GM part, nor will I completely disassemble him to restore each nut and bolt.  If I can return (and maintain) him in the condition he was in after the first owner had driven him for 2 to 3 years, I'll be happy.
