1948 Chrysler Windsor barn find

[refreshauto]

this is an all original 1948 Chrysler Windsor that was in a barn for 14 years. i was contacted by the owner to see if i could restore the paint. he asked me a million questions, but in the end saw that i knew what i was talking about and doing. the car will be coming to the garage on Thursday to get it ready for a car show. He has already placed 2nd and 3rd in the preservation class, and he wants a 1st place so he is bring the car to us. Lets see what we are working with.

That's awesome Vargas! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Armed with proper knowledge I know you will transform that sedan.

BTW, those Silverado's look they could use some love as well...

i cant wait for it either.

Yes those silverado's do need some love as well. The black one is getting done on Wednesday the white no so much. Its a work truck and spends its days on lease roads so it stays dirty.

I'd love to work on a vehicle that didn't require taping ... I hate taping. :laughing:

Looking forward to the after shots.

Awesome project, it's nice to see someone keeping one of these thats not Town & Country. Is their plan to leave the paint 100% original or spot in where the paint is flaking?
