- Figure out if you are keeping the original engine or if you are going to switch it out for a newer model. This will help you determine if you can do the work yourself or if you need assistance.
- Think about an overall color scheme for the car.
- Determine what accessories you want in your car. If you are thinking of putting many modern features in the car, like LED lights, you may need help from a professional mechanic.
Remember, when you are thinking about customizing your antique car, it is important that you research and plan accordingly. Make sure you set a budget and keep all receipts for work and dates of the work as it is performed. Doing this will help you with insurance purposes.
