Way Cool Car For My Next Job

[azblackhemi]

The next car coming into my shop will be a 59 Desoto Sportsman. Really nice solid, straight cool car. It's going to need some trunk floor work but that's it as far as rust. I'm looking forward to working on it since it will be a nice change from all the Cuda's, Challengers and Road runners I've been doing. Here's some pictures.

That's going to be a tight fit in the paint booth!

Yes it will be but my booth is 23' long so I ought to have about 2' in front and behind.

Damn but you get to play with some neat toys!!!
Who's the owner of this sweet car?

That's the car that turned me on to Chryslers forever when my grandfather came home in a new white/yellow one. s_dancing2:

Talk about job satisfaction! You've got it made. Please tell me the thing isn't being customized.

Chris are you painting this to original colors?

I don't think Chris would take on the job if it were.

I don't think Chris would take on the job if it were.

Going pretty much stock with the original colors. The customer wants to change a couple of things like painting the inner fenders body color instead of black but that's about it.
