Is there a cheap way to fix up an old hot rod car ?

Question:
Where do you buy old muscle cars in good condition to be fixed up into hot rods, and what is the least expensive way to get them looking good.

Answers:

I have 97Jetta that makes a rattling noise near the rear drivers side tire when i turn or use gas What is it?

Okay there are some different options: Junk yards depending on the year of the rod, etc. Next, go on e-bay look up the same year car and if you're lucky you can buy the whole car and part it out. Also, look at swap meets, but you'd best know your own stuff, otherwise you may get taken. Hemmings Motor News is expensive, but sometimes worth it because they have parts cars. Do you mind me asking what car you have??

What's wrong with my car? It won't kick into gear.?

I have bought many different cars, many different ways. The best is to see it in person, because you get a better idea of what you are getting for the money. I bought my 67 Mustang from a guy my dad knew from work, but I bought my 77 Mustang II off of eBay, because it had the options I wanted (V8, 4spd, A/C). I bought my 87 Mustang through autotrader, and got my 73 through craigslist.org and my 76, I bought from a guy that had just happened to put it up for sale at the base I was stationed at at the time.

As far as cheaply fixing it up, I would say do your homework. I have spent many an hour at the local libraries, and online, just researching a vehicle. Plus if you have a particular interest in a certain vehicle model, join a club near you. You may even come across someone who is wanting to sell theirs. I have found that most car guys and gals are like me, we would rather have or cars go for less money to someone who will enjoy them rather than more money to someone who won't appreciate it.

Will 1987 Thunderbird fuel tank for fuel injection work with carburator?


Everyone has their favorite cars, but most real car folks will appreciate the time and effort it took to build a car rather than the dollar amount put into it. Personally I would start with something that has lots of parts available before delving into anything a little more uncommon. You will be happier with the results. The cheapest way to get them looking good is to take time, and do it yourself. If you join a club, you can find people to talk to and can ask them how they did certain things, and usually there are guys that'll be glad to help you if you need it.
