Car restoration basics

Odor Elimination for classic vehicles

When you step into your classic vehicle, you want that classic car scent. Not sure what that scent is? It’s clean and crisp. Your classic car should smell just like it did when it rolled off the factory production line.

However, as your car ages, it’s odor can start to age too. And if you think that a dirty interior will degrade a classic car’s value, wait till you see what happens if your car has an odor that you can’t shake.

Thinking of getting one of those scented trees to put up in your windshield? Think again. While those trees are great at getting your car to smell like you want, they don’t actually fix the underlying issue causing those unpleasant odors.

So, how do you fix those underlying issues? Take it to the experts at Recon Pros. We’ll take care of the source of the odor instead of just trying to mask it.

It’s an integral part of the auto interior restoration process, but it often doesn’t get the attention that it deserves. That’s because many discount shops will beautify the car and mask the unpleasant aroma but won’t fix the underlying issue causing the problem.

This means that you’ll be stuck going back to the shop in a few weeks, only for them to mask the smell again. It’s a process that will leave you frustrated and cause you to waste a ton of money. Get the auto restoration process right the first time with Recon Pros.

Classic car considerations

While many aspects of a classic car interior restoration are the same as a regular vehicle restoration, there are definitely some unique factors that your classic car restoration shop needs to take into consideration.

Recon Pros knows how to handle even the trickiest projects, from taking the time to track down original parts to understanding the difference between aged fabrics and new ones. That’s because Recon Pros has been doing this for over 25 years.

So, that classic car you’re bringing in? It might’ve been a car that our experts worked on

when we first opened. No matter your situation, you can rest assured that we know how to handle it because we’ve handled it before.

Original parts vs. suitable substitutes

When it comes to classic cars, everyone wants the original parts. But sometimes those parts just aren’t available, or you don’t want to spend the extra money to get them.

At Recon Pros, we work with every customer to make sure that they are getting exactly what they want with their classic car’s interior restoration. We’ll work within your budget to make your dream car a reality.

At Recon Pros, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile for our customers. That means taking the extra time to make sure that the customer is getting exactly what they want.

If the original parts can’t be sourced, or if they are out of your price range, the experts at Recon Pros can fabricate upholstery to look just like the original. Whether it’s your seats, headliners, or trim, we can make it.

But just because it looks like the original upholstery doesn’t mean that you will think it’s a suitable substitute. Because the truth of the matter is, only the customer can determine if something is a suitable substitute, and sometimes only the original will do.

Price and availability considerations

The two most significant factors when it comes to trying to source original parts are availability and price. Even worse for customers, those two things often directly correlate to the other.

Finding original parts for a classic vehicle can be a significant headache. That’s because those parts aren’t made anymore, which means you need to find a car that isn’t running anymore to take the parts from. And since the vehicle isn’t running anymore, chances are those parts might not have been taken care of.

This is especially true when it comes to the car’s interior. And when parts are hard to come by, the price often skyrockets. Since finding high-quality original parts is hard, the price for those parts can be astronomical.

It’s why restoring your classic car’s interior is so important. If you don’t have to replace the original interior, you can save yourself a ton of money.

However, if your upholstery does need to be replaced, there is a workaround if you’re not a stickler for original parts. Experts like those of us at Recon Pros can fabricate parts that are identical to the originals. Your classic car’s interior will look precisely like it did the day it rolled off the assembly line.

No, it won’t hold the same value to the hardcore classic car collectors as the original interior would, but it will still boost the value of the car and provide a phenomenal look.
