Step 1
Determine the restoration areas you want to work on immediately—doors, tops and windows are an instant cosmetic fix. Since a classic car in the rough varies in price from a couple of thousand to tens of thousands, it is important to shop around for the best deal.
-
Step 2
Select a door style—a center door has two doors that open into the rear compartment—common in the 1922 Ford Model-T.
-
Step 3
Decide on a folding top for the Model-T—the 1922 and 1923 versions are very similar.
-
Step 4
Check the glass in the windows—safety standards were different in 1922. In order to make restorations realistic, try to reuse or find glass from that era.
-
Step 5
Dress the body of the car with repaired steel chrome or purchase new—if you can use steel chrome from the 1920s era, the restoration will be of a higher quality.
-
Step 6
Generate as much interest in your restoration project as possible—the more people that are interested the easier it will be to solicit help.
-
Step 7
Research online and in motor news magazines for information on where to find your classic car and how much it will cost. The cost will depend on the area, the condition and the make of the car—plan to spend between $5,000 and $10,000.
