I bought a very rough 70’ dodge charger some years back. It’s been a process between tear down, buying all the specialty tools, saving money for parts, waiting for them to finally get delivered during Covid. And now with kids finding time to work on the body. It’s a labor of love, but progress is always being made. Can’t wait to get it running and driving.

The biggest tip I have is get a car that is extremely popular in the restoration community. It will make getting parts for cheap easy. Second biggest tip is to get something that runs and drives if you are brand new. With these older mustangs its not hard to find one that runs and drives for a decent price especially the coupes.

Best advice is to find someone who has actually restored the same make/model you are looking for. They will know the common rust spots and exactly how difficult it would be to fix them. They can evaluate on your behalf; the skill level required, how much work it would take and what value the vehicle has to the person looking to buy it.

I was rebuilding a motor for my 1998 Chevy Silverado. It was gonna be my first project so I can learn more about cars. Everything was going well just had low compression and when I put it into drive it would lose all the power and run weak. I messed with the rocker arms and the compression was good. I drove it around the block and then it started on fire.

I got my first proper classic car at 41 years old after wanting one my whole life. Very tidy body from California imported to U.K. and runs and drives when I got it. As you say, once you start using it, things will start to show up that are broken or will break. Things like bushings, ball joints, tie rods, U joints, alternators, radiators, upholstery, etc. If a car is that old and in decent condition then it’s probably not had much use so stuff has just aged and is not ready for regular use. However, starting out with a car that doesn’t need work just to get it roadworthy is a huge bonus and then it’s a matter of keeping it on the road and improving a little at a time. Also I got a car with plentiful parts available. In my opinion you don’t want a super rare car where if the back window gets broken you have zero chance of getting a replacement and have to get something custom made.

My thinking is you also need to determine your needs vs wants. Is this gonna be a show car only driven at shows or on weekends? Or is it something you plan on driving regularly and still want to enjoy it? Im planning to budget restore my old truck. Its not a show truck as I still plan to use it as a truck so from that perspective I plan on goin the safety first route. -brake system(can it stop reliably) -suspension -full engine tune up -make sure the trannys good Once its mechaniclly safe/reliable then ill look at interior, take it to macco for a 1500$ paint job. I want it budget restored because I still plan on using it an i dont want to worry if it still gets a scratch here or there..

'Restoring' a car has a lot of different meanings. and it begins long before you buy it and bring it home. Which car to buy? Early Mustangs, Camaros, 55-57 Chevys, and a few other cars.. EVERYTHING is available, entire bodies even, So shop for parts of a car you "THINK" you want to restore. When you find you can't easily find parts for it... Just walk away before even buying. Saves you lots of headaches. 2. Have a 'finish line' in mind. What you want the car to be, and how much you're willing to spend. I am ALWAYS looking at the exit, when Im restoring a car. What can I get out of this car $$$ shows me how much I can spend, before going upside down. Losing money.
