Turning a Classic Car into a Modern Car! A "How to" and Cost Breakdown Guide!!!

New style of videos coming your way for more content! I am still getting used to these types of videos but I do appreciate your support

one thing I can say from experience, when you buy and restore a classic car that needs engine, suspension, bodywork, paint, etc, chances are you're going to spend more on it than the car will be worth once it's restored. best advice is to try and find a classic car already restored or mostly restored...otherwise, you better prepare yourself for a moneypit that never seems to end.

Labor is what gets you... paint and bodywork for example. More importantly, what happens when styles change? Think of all those metal flake pro street cars of the 70s that aren't worth anything now. I prefer stock with some bolt ons

Great job on your welds!!

Great seeing all of your videos! Car is sweet! What pedals/master cylinders did you use?

This doesn’t even include the cost of mechanics labor. Not a cheap sport lol

Im thinking on restomoding a 1900 Opel manta, keeping everything as classic as possible but at the same time giving it the power and technology of a modern car

Funny to think a 68 fastback started at $35k 🤣

Lol what’s with that left hand?

My brain says: A tesla model 3 costs half of what this costs and would absolutely obliterate it in 0-60.
My heart says: F U brain!

nice...

Ik not much about cars and very young but I wanna learn by doing a project car get an old jeep with modern engine what engine or what yall think

Mine is a 63 Corvair Monza i got for 1500$

I'm playing with the idea of putting a current generation motor into a 90s Alfa Romeo (either 145 or 155 not sure yet). This breakdown is a pretty good starting point.

Those are good welds

Stupid video madarchod

How hard would it be to put an old mustang body on a coyote?

Such a cool video. Great summary. I am restoring my 65 FB and enjoyed watching what you're doing.

Damn bro nice dimes you laid there.

that welder is legit af

I have a 98 mitsubishi 3000gt and I thought wouldn't it be awesome if it could be upgraded to have all the latest and greatest features that the new sports cars have now. Which led me to this video. I don't believe I'll ever get to do that, I'm waiting on my next check just to replace the starter. If you want to have fun doing this to my vehicle, that would be life changing for me.

Ive just got a 71 mach 1
- in the uk- & its in a sorry state- i havnt got the ££ to restore it, so its getting a restromod (cheap donor vehicle) 😂

what's a kah odie?

Beautiful job

Found my 1968 Camaro in amazing condition for only $27k, only cosmetic issues. Got it repainted for the low by a family friends business. New brakes suspension and wheels (by choice, not required) and had some minor touchups. My dad does interiors and we put in a modern head unit, cameras, AC/heat.
All in all, aside from the price of the actual car, I spent 5k on bodywork (paintjob) and 10k on everything else. It’s practically finished, so 15k worth of cosmetic and functional upgrades can make a daily driver. Prices can vary depending on connections you have.

My dream is a 69 Stang with modern features like yours, but illl add more like: ABS, LCD rear view camera, backing camera, ABS, sensors, key-less feature, power steering, LED lights, sound system, radio, convertible feature upgrade, advanced AC system, wireless chargers, lcd dashboard, cup holders, voice activation, heated seats, AWD feature, diamond coating, etc.

I think the convertible mod will be the costliest at $15k, so $100k more in upgrades for my dream modern Stang

Would you know if theres any restomods or engine swap for economical driving? Maybe a diesel truck engine swap into a 1970s land yacht type?

I was lucky. Bought my grandnational in great condition in 2019. No interior work needed. Kept it stock for about a year. 24k for a 74k mile grandnational with t tops. Engine kept stock. Just hot tanked and new pistons. everything else new from brake lines to fuel lines. New AC components. Power mater brake system conversion to vacuum. Rebuilt transmission with a bigger torque converter. Transmission good to 800hp. Razor alcohol injection. Bigger at 20psi of boost with adjustment to 24. Still have not painted it yet but I estimate 5 grand. I plan on going with 18 inch gnx style wheels. So with the purchase of the car and everything being touched outside of paint I'm about 50k in. I now have a 500hp 600tq monster.

m about to start my first swap in almost 10 years other than shell swaps. 1978 mitsubishi lancer with a CA18DET. need to figure out how to set up the harness and we goochie

Appreciate you sharing pricing! You one of the few. Most people keep the numbers Top Secret! Enjoy your build....

sweet

Stop saying motor. Does it run on electricity??? It is a gasoline ENGINE

Beautiful stance

Thanks for the video, the car I want is like old bmw and old porsche the most expensive is the porsche the bmw I find one extern bad condition but intern runs ok I is a beginning I pretty much do this put electric windows, back and front camera sound system the good ones with bluetooth and good air conditioner system and good engine for track racing in the total I will pay that price you said like 64k because the bmw is like lower price less the porsche is like 45k in that case I giving for later and I pretty much love BMW

Thats insane but is not like original…

Please update I'm a Ford Man.

Keep it up these type of videos does motivate me🔥🔥🔥

My question is how do you get started with little money ?

Nate rider when the mustangs all done you should make a video of you test driving it

The interior is something you have touched on yet. Stereo, leather bolstered seats, gauges, lighting, air conditioning, and sound deadening are common modern features that people have become used to and want to see in these resto mods. That 35k starting price gets you a road ready car. Plus you get to sell off some of the stuff you don't need anymore like the old engine.

This is a great video because a lot of people really want this type of car but really don't know what it takes to do it. One thing I'd add is if you can't do the work yourself, you'll have to find someone to do it and that's where the cost skyrockets! Not to mention the overall time it takes to pull this off. If you're retired, then you've got "plenty" of time on your hands.

just finished painting my 67 after 5 yrs coyote is next 🔥🔥🔥

So let's see yours on the road, we Been waiting, can't wait to see it
