I believe that all too often guys buy something with big dreams or aspirations instead of evaluating the vehicle and making an honest assessment.
I have bought scrap jeeps, trucks and carriers- not to restore but to strip for the last useable parts. By not looking at it as a whole, restoration piece but as a source of valuable nick nacs, you save a lot of heartache and wasted time and money. I tend not to keep scrap vehicles laying around for long- they come home and get parted.
