The first place you should consider is your local auto wreckers or junkyard. You never know what hidden gem you may find amid the rubble. Often people will dispose of a vehicle without realizing the potential worth in it. Many would rather not invest the time and money necessary for the restoration of classic cars. That alone is a great way to get them to unload their classic on you. There is a good chance you will find an old car at the junkyard that has been left there due to age or missing parts. If restoration is what you plan, this can be a goldmine.



Prior to contacting a junk yards in the area do an inventory, if possible make a list of the working parts. Make sure you have listed the make, model and year as well as mileage. Other things such as wear and tear on tires and items that have recently been purchased will help you define the value.

Every state and town has at least a salvage yard where useful parts of dilapidated vehicles are salvaged for re-use. Most of the parts would be non-functional. But even the most dilapidated vehicles have a usable part either on the inside or on the outside.

As the parts came off, I would use a paint pen like a wrecking yard, so I didn't lose the identity. Next, I would clean each part, and lay it out on one of many big tables, ready to photograph.

Continue by measuring the bolt sizes themselves. Take a bolt off and measure the diameter of the head, then the length and diameter of the thread. You may find the right bolt pattern, but the bolt doesn't fit!

One drill. One 3/4" paddle drill bit. One Phillips head #2 screw head. One small box of course thread 2" drywall screws. One bottle of wood glue. One 1/8" drill bit. One hand or power saw.
