I paid a company to reside it. Seamless stainless steel. I got tired of getting scrape and paint warnings from the city every 3-4 years.
First series 1949 Chrysler Windsor, same as the 48. Plan to update drive and brakes to make it safe to drive.
I put a new entry door on the garage prior to residing. I put together the air compressor from salvaged parts from the hospital I worked at. Compressor from replaced automation system, motor from a tossed treadmill and used casters from transport cart. I salvaged 2 air tanks so I have a spare.
I have been a member at Hotrodders.com since 2005, also a few other car sites. I retired in January and have been trying to get organized enough to have room to work inside rather than empty half the garage every time. Slowly getting there.
