That's a difficult question. So much depends upon the type of part you are looking for, as well as the year, make and model of the vehicle. Some vehicles have restoration parts still available in sufficient quantities, and others will be extremely hard to find.

At Motorheads Performance we are often asked about parts used for restoring older vehicles of the 1920's through 1970's, since this is our specialty. With advent of the internet, on-line shopping has certainly opened up a world of parts and products for restoring your old beauty.

Sometimes, you can find body and engine parts by visiting local bone yards or scrap dealers. While it can be a hit-or-miss proposition, some real treasures still exist if you are knowledgeable about what to look for. Knowledge of what are reasonable and fair prices is something that time and experience brings. Sellers typically charge what the market will bear, and sometimes hard-to-find parts sell at a premium. If a price sounds too good to be true, make sure that it is really the deal that you think it is.

Aftermarket companies for classic and antique cars are popping up all over the place, offering everything from reproduction parts to modern technologies made to work with older vehicles. Vintage Air is a classic example of an aftermarket product which has found a good niche of supplying superb quality air conditioning systems for all types of classic and antique vehicles...and they've done their homework to ensure that the systems work properly with each particular make and model.

Mistakes such as purchasing parts that don't fit, or aren't correct for your make & model, can be expensive. You may purchase a set of window cranks for your '41, but depending upon the model you have, the parts are different and the ones you buy may not fit your vehicle. Is the cam you are considering made for a 2 bolt main? Will you need to swap out your rear end or perform other modifications if you change out? Purchasing a performance part just because it's the trendy thing to do can often result in very expensive modifications elsewhere, or creating havoc in your engine's performance elsewhere. For instance, purchasing that trendy new intake manifold may boost horsepower bragging rights, but it isn't doing your performance any good unless you're also paying attention to your exhaust (an all-too-often made mistake). It pays to do your research thoroughly and compare all your options before making a purchase. Saving a dollar is good, but sometimes it can end up costing you more in the long-run. www.motorheadsperformance.com www.motorheadsperformance.com
