    19 years old, tracked down my fathers first vehicles, 1967 f100 and 1965 international scout. Both trying to complete a restoration to have fun with and enjoy it! He passed about 4 years ago and always wanted to see them fixed up.

  • @SaskatchewanBadAss
    @SaskatchewanBadAss Рік тому +9

    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.

    I am 57 and have a 1986 Trans Am that I have had since 1990. The original 305 has 145,000 on it, but I do not know how to work on a car & am not physically capable.But I like the car and if I sold it, I would only want something else and older. So I am basically stuck going to a mechanic, I would like to get a crate engine to replace the old 305. But they are very expensive & if they not there not reliable.

    I just got my oldest car project. It's a 79 chevy g10 van. All the rust and body work has already been taken care of and a 350 crate with low miles is in and runs great. All i have to do now is paint it and assemble the inside. I was looking at many projects but I chose this one since it had most of the hard/expensive work done already.

  • @Rosetti.
    @Rosetti. 10 місяців тому +1

    Question: I can do bodywork, mechanical work, and electrical work. I sub out upholstery. But what do I do about the switches & buttons on dashboards & armrests as well as the trim/bezels that go around those components? I see TV shows where the buttons and switches look BRAND NEW! Do I send them out to get refinished, or is there a way to find new ones? I mean, for Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, Chevelles, etc., I'm sure there are aftermarket buttons and switches, but what do I do if I have a less popular car (IE 1967 Plymouth Fury III, or a 1970 Buick Centurion convertible)? Can anyone help?

    Not classic or old or worthy of mention but I’m restoring a 2007 Mazda 3 hatch with a Mazda 5 engine that was swapped in, and put a better cooling system in it. I got the car for $300. No paint headliner and atrocious. 40,000 miles later I’m still working on her. Painted, interior done, new wheels and lights and customized interior panels (no wraps, ACTUAL panels custom matched and mixed together for more modern design without ugly ass modern design. Minimal classy) - I am replacing cloth seats and doing minimal mechanical upgrades

    I know this first hand, I built a 72 GMC truck and nothing is original, it runs, drives, handles and stops great but man was it expensive. My body was beat up so it was a long bed that became a short bed why not I had to replace the whole bed any way, I spent a lot of time on the cab straightening it out probably the hardest part of the build.

    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.

      A 70 GTO with a 455 was my first car about 25 years ago. The interior was completely gutted but the body, aside from the paint, was in pretty good shape. I was 18 and I was just happy it ran. Good luck on yours.

    I just inherited a 69 Mach 1. Have never worked on vehicles before and have no clue what I’m getting in to. The video was helpful. Thanks.

      I’m in a similar boat, I inherited a 1969 Z28. My dream car, always was obsessed with it as a kid but never worked on cars with my dad before. He passed back in October. I’m excited to see where that project takes me.

      Same here. Except the two truck I will eventually buy are a 1960's Ford Pickup, and a 1940's Willys Jeepster Pickup.

    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 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.
