Old Car Restoration


 

How to Find Classic Car Parts?

The Classic Car Club of America distinguishes a classic car as those between 1925 and 1948. They note that classic cars are produced in limited quantities and sold at a higher price. They further explain that a 25 year-old car will qualify as classic since the normal shelf life of a vehicle is 10 to15 years only.

Owning a classic car is a great investment for car enthusiasts. The price value appreciates as it ages. The only problem or challenge most collectors encounter is when they need to change some car parts and accessories. The classic car parts are not usually available in typical automobile shops.

Owners can still look for specialty stores that carry car parts for outdated models. Shopping for a classic car part is now easy with the use of internet. They can search the internet for dealers who are engaged in restoring and selling classic car parts. They can look at the classic car classifieds for easy access on complete lists of sellers.

Placing an order through the internet is easy. It will only take a few minutes. The buyer will have to use his credit card to pay. The product will be sent through courier service once the payment is received and confirmed. Deliveries usually only takes a couple of days depending on the courier service provider.

Join groups and organizations having the same interest in classic cars. You will be able to get a lot of tips from them regarding where to go for hard-to-find parts, what shop best restores a classic car, or maybe recommend an excellent mechanic who offers door to door service.

It is also fun to hangout with people of the same interest. You can do things together like watching car racing competitions, going to exhibits, or sharing each other's experiences on how you got your collection. You might be able to influence them positively in some way.

Some automobile shops are providing catalogs for their classic cars and parts. They could be ordered online and is to be sent through mail. Included in the catalog are photos and specifications of available parts.

Most of these shops restore and recondition old parts. A few manufacturers make new parts for classic cars. Normally however you will find parts that actually came from a dismantled classic car.

auto restoration software?
What's the best software for old car restoration? I'm looking for something that is good for more than time, budget, and materials planning. Maybe something that will conceptualize what things like different grills, and rims would look like. Is there something like that?

Old Car Restoration Project?
I have this crazy idea... What if you were to buy an old car, (late 60's early 70's muscle car), and put a viper engine in it? I have seen quite a few older muscle cars, selling with no engines, and in need of some body/interior work, selling for under a grand. How hard would it be to swap a viper engine (1994 probably...), into the older car? You can find these engines, with transmissions, for about $4000-$7000, depending on mileage. Would this be possible? I have never restored a car, but I have family members who would be willing to help me... Thanks much, I look forward to seeing some answers here! ***BTW- I'm not looking to completely restore this car, just put a new engine setup into it, and slap some new seats in it. The car I'd be getting has a decent interior, needs paint, and has no engine/transmission with it. I was just wondering if it would be easy enough to slap the Viper engine in it... But thanks for the answers so far, I am by no means an expert on this subject, and I have no wife or neighbors to worry about!

1966 Mustang Restoration?
I bought a 1966 Mustang Convertible but I have no idea how to work on it. I want to restore it and make it look nice, but I also want to modernize the engine and other mechanical aspects.
