'59 Chrysler New Yorker Restoration

My grandfather has a '59 New Yorker that he's had since June 15, 1960 (my birthday 31 years early!) and he decided he wanted to restore it completely stock except the window motors to roll the windows ^ and V. There were only 4 tiny 2-inch rust spots, each in the wheelwells under the fender.:wink:

here's a few pics chronologically of the whole ordeal!

PAINT BOOTH!! They used PPG paints, and they have an in-house sanding booth and paint booth. They mix all paints on spot with a qualified painter/mixer. This paint looks better than i can ever describe.
