How to Finish that Classic Car ProjectHow many classic car projects can be completed these days? The old time junkyard itself is becoming obsolete. Many yards are being crushed or have been picked over so much there is nothing left to chose from. Many old timers from the 1960's and 70's wanting to restore a car, collected so many "projects" that they started selling pieces from their collection, only to buy more. There you go, the birth of a salvage yard. With the price of steel going up due to, in part, China's reconstruction (great motivation for the crushers and recyclers) and city laws becoming more rigid with private property (ei. "You can't have non-running, non titled, or old cars on your property if in city limits...") many car lovers with ambitions of rebuilding a classic are being left with only dreams. The excitment of hunting for parts to construct a dream machine is starting to become a nightmare. How long can you search for a drivers side mirror for your 1963 Ford Fairlane? Try finding a good, rust free passenger side fender for your 1966 Pontiac Bonneville. And when you finally find that part to your puzzel, will you have to drive across the country to pick it up from the fellow who has a yard overgrown with bushes, trees and decaying leaves? By the way, "..your part is over there, buried behind 10 other cars...and watch out for the snakes..." You finally get the parts you need and are anxious to start putting it all together when, the neighbor calls the city to complain about the "junk" car in your driveway. Chances are that driveway you pay the taxes on, not your neighbor, may be your only spot to be creative. Now what? Are the efforts to save this piece of the past worth it? The time and money invested in hunting parts, sandblasting surface rust, welding sheetmetal, piecing together the engine and polishing chrome all come together in one single thought, "Can I finish my dream?" Yes, you can. Times have changed. You can now get original parts shipped to your door. These parts, whether it be a fender or headlight bezel, are pulled, processed and custom packaged for you. No driving, no fending off snakes or spiders, no bad weather. Your parts are only a click away from arriving at your door.
