Muscle Car Restoration

Muscle cars are becoming harder and harder to find. When you find one in good enough condition to restore at a reasonable price and get it home and start checking it out, you may realize that it needs more work than you anticipated. The bones are good, and there’s not a lot of rust, but there will be if you don’t get it under control. Soon.

Even if a muscle car is in decent condition, it takes a lot of work. If you don’t have the right tools or experience in restoring vehicles the work can be overwhelming. Accelerate Auto Repair has everything needed to restore your muscle car to its original condition and, in most cases, can even get new old stock parts. Contact us to make an appointment with our restoration mechanic to discuss your muscle car restoration project or to discuss muscle car service and repair.

  • Replacing fenders

  • Checking and topping off fluids
  • Flushing and changing the coolant
  • Flushing the transmission fluid and changing the filter

Common repairs include:

Finally, you can also make many upgrades, including:

  • Upgrading a points distributor to HEI distributors such as MSD
  • Adding MSD or Jacobs ignition
  • Upgrading a timing chain to a Pete Jackson gear drive – if you love to hear that whine!
  • Upgrading or changing the suspension for different applications, including drag racing
