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.













i want to thank Mike for giving me the training i needed to make this happen. there is no doubt in my mind that we will bring the Chrysler back to life :buffing:

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.

Awesome! :dblthumb2:

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?

He wants to leave it 100% original, he doesn't want to paint it over. Wait till you see the interior its in great shape also all original

Im no expert on stuff like this, however, I would try show car glaze (number 7) by meguiars to restore the gloss to the paint. Then you can see what you are working with.
