The Challenges of Restoring A Classic Car Yourself
YOU MAY BE IN FOR MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR WITH THE SHEET METAL REPLACEMENT PORTION.
Not many people know how to properly handle sheet metal replacement. Quarter-panel replacement mandates extraordinary attention to detail and doing the job with doors and decklid installed. You need those points of reference to get quarter-panel fitment spot on. As far as addressing rust issues, depending on how much there is to fix, this could be an easy fix or it could be a pretty extensive task. And no rust repair job is a one-and-done solution. From paint removal to prepping to priming and painting, there's a method and order to rust removal and repair that takes time and experience. At Farm Boy Garage we handle both sheet metal replacement and rust repair, so you don't have to!
RESTORING ON YOUR OWN MAY LEAD TO INJURIES.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a fully equipped garage or shop to work out of. It's pretty uncommon that the average Joe has a rotisserie available for their use. While it may seem like a good idea at a moment's thought to use old milk crates, blocks, or even your standard jack stand to lift your muscle car so you can work on it, that's extremely dangerous. No vehicle restoration project is worth an avoidable injury or worse. At Farm Boy Garage, our garage is equipped with all the necessary equipment to allow us to safely and efficiently work on your vehicle.
YOU MAY END UP SPENDING MORE MONEY.
Before you decide to move forward with a restoration project, the first thing you should do is plan out a budget. Car restoration isn't cheap, so having a budget in mind is important. The problem with attempting a restoration project on your own can throw a HUGE and expensive kink in your budget, especially if you're not seasoned in all that is involved. Plus, you may end up paying a lot more for parts on your own when a professional restoration shop can get them at a much cheaper cost. The big plus of working with Farm Boy Garage for your restoration needs is that we can provide you with an estimate before we even begin the work, so you know what to expect from the get-go.
