The Joy Of Restoring A Vintage Car

images-51.jpgIf you love old cars, you aren’t the only one.  There are antique shows all over the country that have vintage cars on display.  Crowds flock to admire these cars, and owners take great pride in displaying them.

Many vintage owners have restored their cars piece-by-piece.  Owners haven’t just rebuilt these cars; they have restored them to their original state.

The difference between rebuilding and restoring is simple.  Rebuilt cars have new parts in them, where, restored cars have authentic parts.

The restoration process includes the car body, as well as mechanical components.  For a true restoration to take place the parts must be from the original make and year of the car.

The vehicle’s interior is also included in the restoration.  If possible, upholstery should be repaired.  It can be virtually impossible to find the authentic upholstery for a vehicle, but it is necessary to get as close as possible.

It’s a labor of love to restore a car, but worth it.  There is nothing more satisfying than turning a clunker into a classic car.  As with any car, make sure you have an auto warranty to protect yourself.
