How do I restore a 1974 Chevy?

Answer by  scwriter007 (254)

First, make sure you have a vehicle with a sound and true frame. This is the foundation of the rebuild. Then buy a quality restoration book for your make and model. Chilton produces some of the best books in this area. Before you actually get stated on your project make sure you have the time and energy to finish.

The first thing to do is some research. I would purchase a book on chevy restoration and do some on-line digging.Keep in mind Frame-off restoration is the way to go.

Usually you'll replace or overhaul the engine, re-upholster the interior, and repaint the exterior, beyond any repair it needs. You'll spend a lot of time at the body shop.
