Auto Restoration: Asking the Right Questions
There are many things to consider when you are looking to have your classic vehicle restored.
Why do you want to have your classic car restored?
Many people come in to the shop and say they want a particular car restored because they have always wanted one. In this situation, you need to weigh your options and decide whether it will be more beneficial for you to have a car restored or just buy one that’s already undergone restoration. A restoration can be a long, expensive process and you need to be sure about what you want.
What level of restoration are you looking for?
Do you want a nice driver, a show car, or a perfect concourse restoration? The difference between a nice driver and a concourse restoration can be a lot of money, so be sure of what you want out of the finished product.
What will you do with the car once it is restored?
If your car is going to be a weekend driver that you take out for drives and nights on the town, then we like to keep the cars as stock as possible. If you are planning on using it as a daily driver or a rally car, then we recommend some upgrades such as disk brakes, modern shocks, and steering upgrades. It is important not to get too carried away with upgrades because at the end of the day, you still want to be driving a classic car, not a modern car.
You need to pick the right car and look for the best quality car you can find. Rust-free, accident-free cars may cost you more up front, but you will save thousands in the long run and the finished product will be that much better.
