2. Obtain all the original paperwork regarding that vehicle you can find.
3. Use only paints that were originally used for that particular vehicle.
These were the instructions I received over and over from restoration buffs when I was selling my restored, 1940 Buick Century.
Thanks!
Thats the kind of stuff I need to know. I'm not restoring it to sell it, more just to keep me busy and outa trouble!
One of the reasons I think it was good is that all the interior stuff is there and in pretty good shape. (I mean stuff like ashtrays, etc.) The parts joints will nickle and time ya then end up charging an arm and a leg for knobs and stuff like that.
But all the chrome is good, door handles, etc. Gonna need work on the trunk and both rear quarter panels will need to be replaced.
And a few of the places (like around the windshield molding) have a bit of rust. Probably not that big a deal to fix (like a 15 minute job) but take 3 hours to get to it!
It's frozen shut now, 16 degrees at my place.
