Automotive restoration projects have been super popular by a number of car enthusiasts as an ongoing hobby. There is something about tearing down a reconstructing a classic car or truck that give a huge sense of accomplishment once the project is completed. It isn’t always an easy job to tackle, and not advisable for the typical DIY lover. This type of work can be complex and time consuming, and expert knowledge is a must. At Modern Restoration, a division of Modern Trends, we have the skill, expertise and equipment to handle your next restmod project.
A “restomod” (a mix of “restoration” and “modified”) is a historic automobile restoration that integrates parts of current technology to increase the vehicle’s performance. When a restomod is conducted, the outside of a car is left untouched while the interior is improved. If you decide to replace your engine with a newer, more powerful one, this is referred to as a restomod since it can increase your vehicle’s performance and fuel economy. A restomod would also include the installation of a GPS or a safety device in your vehicle.
It’s one thing to admire the appearance of a historic automobile, but it’s quite another to drive one. Floaty springs, drum braking, and “fingertip” steering work together to make the 1950s and 1960s automobiles truly terrifying to drive about town. When you realize that they didn’t have power steering or brakes, even a Duesenberg starts to appear unappealing. These concerns are addressed by restomodding.
The adaption of modern performers to older vehicles has been for practically as long as cars have existed.
Restomods go a step farther than cobbling together manufactured parts by employing new parts to fit in stock places. The builder may add current performance by refitting the original pieces while simultaneously returning the automobile to its original state. What began as a few specialized items such as air conditioning kits and digital instruments has evolved into an aftermarket business that offers modifications to make classic recreations and useable as daily driver vehicles and long-distance cruisers.
Although the most amazing restomod cars may share just a body with the original, familiar hobbyists’ alterations revolve around a few crucial components.
Speed automatic transmissions shift more smoothly and have more speed manuals, but their overdrive manual gearbox are their most significant benefit. These enable low highway engine speeds, boosting fuel efficiency while minimizing noise and motor wear.
A new set of brakes, like a new transmission, offers several little benefits eclipsed by one immense benefit: Disc brakes outperform drum brakes in terms of fade-free, moisture-resistant performance.
While a complete coil-over independent suspension is out of most people’s budgets, small upgrades like polyurethane bushings, stiffer A-arms, and Panhard bars not only aid in curves but also keep the car straight at full power.
Vintage-style head units have long been a hallmark of useable restorations. Still, with the proliferation of media devices and cellphones, audio possibilities may be broadened by adding a concealed input connector.
Moving to larger wheels enables the installation of contemporary performance tires.

Compared to current automobiles, a classic cars performance might be sluggish and inefficient at times. However, by redesigning the car’s mechanical components, its less spectacular performance may be improved.
