The ancient American cars people are thinking of when they think of Cuba were made of thicker, softer metal, which is easier to work on. Those vehicles were made of 100% virgin steel. Modern cars have substantial recycled content and the steel is much harder, therefore harder to work, and they use harder steel specifically so that they can make it thinner, which is also harder to work without destroying the metal. You simply cannot restore a modern vehicle as easily as you can the older ones, even putting complexity aside.
