Classic car restoration log

Preserve the story behind every restored component.

A restoration can span years, multiple shops, and hundreds of purchases. GearsTrack keeps the provenance, progress, and cost of the work together long after paper receipts and message threads disappear.

Free for up to three builds. No credit card required.

Make long projects understandable

Break a multi-year restoration into documented milestones. Dates, mileage, photos, and notes show what was completed, what changed, and what still blocks the next stage.

Protect provenance and value

Keep receipts, part details, originality notes, and major work attached to the vehicle. A coherent record is more persuasive than a box of unlabeled paperwork.

Hand the knowledge forward

Record the adjustments, substitutions, and repairs that only the builder knows. The finished history remains useful to mechanics, appraisers, insurers, and future owners.

Common questions

Can I track work completed by different shops?

Yes. Timeline notes, expenses, vendors, receipts, and photos can identify the work and source involved at each stage.

Can I separate restoration cost from routine maintenance?

Yes. Parts, expenses, and timeline entries can be categorized so the restoration budget and later upkeep remain understandable.

Can the restoration stay private?

Yes. Projects begin private and can remain private indefinitely while still supporting documents and exports.
