Do at least one resto. I just spent 6hrs trying to fix bottle jack dents in the bottom of a rocker panel. Working on a car is extremly frustrating but it can be very rewarding. My only advise is never say "that'll do". After its done you'll want to go back and redo it.

I agree also, do at least one resto attempt yourself. They are a lot of work, expensive, rework out the wazoo, lots of parts to scavenge, require a lot of patience, etc... However, the knowledge that you gain, the pride that you have, and the comfort that the car is restored to your spec's - less the inevitable, endless, 'punch list', is well worth it in my book.
Just me $.02!
