Restoration Projects
In this section we will be applying the processes and guidance that were documented in the
Restoration section. The goal of this is to not only
prove out the highlighted process but also to show how it's applied to various different cars. The
reality of car restoration is that every project is different. You can restore multiple of the same
make model and year, but because the coniditon you recieve them in is different, each car will present
it's own distinct set of challenges.
Now, what I've really laid forth here is a pair of auto restoration philosophies. Take it or leave it
ast it may, the only true difference between the two methodologies is the manner in which the auto restoration
process follows. What you'll find in many cases, is that you may start with one, and then transfer over to the
other or vice versa.
I cite two examples. I know a fellow who was all about the concept of the frame off restoration process. But, that
being said, his number one goal was to be able to drive the car, pretty or not. He followed my frame off process, but skipped
the bits that weren't directly relational to driveability. He now has a driveable car, and is using more the in-situ path
to finish his vehicle.
Finally, should you choose to restore a car that matches one of the restorations here you will have a
good step by step guide on how to do it!
