POPSVintage Auto Restoration For vintage auto collectors like Gould, removing scratches and dings, or restoring bad paint jobs is considered an anathema to some of the stories those original marks can tell about the vehicle. “We’d never do that to a painting or piece of furniture,” Gould laments. For others, it’s strictly a business, but an enterprise that doesn’t come without challenges. Most of the time, vintage car restoration requires a full factory reproduction to make it a prized possession. Restorers also typically prefer recreating it to look as historically accurate as possible, from the day it first rolled off the assembly line. Fortunately, the Internet greatly diminishes this difficult task, even if it’s a rare model, because it not only provides a whole virtual library of guides and expert advice on restoration, but makes access to specific auto parts from companies that manufacture them that much easier.
