The only app for all automotive restoration needs!
Anyone that has ever restored a vehicle is keenly aware that every slip of paper, photograph needs to be preserved. Finding a car whether in pristine condition or a total project rebuild always starts with "do you have paperwork on it?" It's a simple request yet paramount, who owned it prior, how many were made, how many owners, the list is endless. Now comes the next question that is only a slight chance if the car was pre cell phone era, photographs. With all that much desired information and the car itself, what the heck do you do with it all?? More notebooks? binders, a drawer where it just thrown into? Keeping your precious vehicle cared for, clean is a priority, and finally the same thing can be for all the receipts, documentation, and photos. Papertrail Auto answers everything I ever needed to not only be able to keep track of all that mess of paperwork, I can even add photos to it. Now comes the icing on the cake, who wants to show off all the historical paperwork when you just want to show off the photos, Papertail Auto has a complete separate section called Stories, When you own a project car, show car, it becomes like a your child, You want to share its first ride, its first cleaning and so on. Since I started using Papertrail I have been cataloging all the different things I have done, and need to do. Restoring an older car requires hours of research and remembering where you saw that part. If it's online you can add it to your do list as a url with notes and photos, or just leave yourself a note with a photo in the todo list. In closing I have spent way too much time just trying to find an app that can store, organize and keep me from drowning in the details and actually enjoy the car. If you are tired of binders and folders, try this app, but keep in mind, you must take the time to fill in the sections. The app will only help and add to your project if you add to it. And I'm sure some of you will ask, do I have to go all the way back to the beginning to enter things? NO! start wherever you want and just align the date stamp, this way you can add old stuff tomorrow and new stuff today. And every so often go into the app and admire all your work, show off your car with the story, and you can even share it on the social feed. Wonderful app, only took me weeks to find it, so glad I did
