Personally, when I was 17-18 I worked at the front desk in an automobile repair shop owned by a family friend. He’s about 70 years old while I turn 40 in October.
The main problem he told me is that restoration junkies expect him to be up to the task when repairing old brands such as the Biscayne. Not that he was underqualified but the technique used to make and repair such vehicles requires a specific knowledge that modern mechs mostly lack.
As someone deeply familiar with classic car restoration, I’ve observed that owners of Chevrolet Biscaynes often face challenges with rust, sourcing original parts, and dealing with outdated technology. Rust, especially in the floors and body panels, requires thorough inspection and possibly custom fabrication. Finding authentic or high-quality reproduction parts can be tricky, so joining Biscayne-specific forums and contacting classic car parts suppliers can be helpful. For outdated technology, modernizing with reliable upgrades while preserving the car’s classic appeal is a common approach. Connecting with restoration clubs and specialists can provide valuable resources and strategies to address these issues effectively.
