guys..this was just a hypo question...no one that I know is involved in anything i've mentioned..I'm not a restorer,,but have had some restored and later sold AS IS and if something that the restorer failed to do and "not a part that was used" and can be proven that caused the horrific accident I assumed the "restorer" will be held responsible..
I was just curious and thought that some of you on the forum have restored vehicles for family and/or friends and maybe you have thought on this...How are you protected from being sued for maybe alot more than your insurance will cover..
Are you saying you would never restore for anyone period? That's my feelings..
And as someone said if it's restoration shop they have Insurance..
It just seemed odd to me that no one ever mentions this scenereo..
