Here is the 52 Ford Crestline Victoria in the 1st Stage of the Restoration Process. We begin by removing all the chrome, rubber, glass and interior before stripping the
paint. This vehicle is a work in progress. Here are the photos of what has been completed so far.

Next we begin removing the paint from the vehicle, main body, jambs, between all the louvers, etc. The entire vehicle will be without paint.
As you can see the vehicle is NOW coming along and we are able to see all the imperfections that were HIDDEN by the paint. After removing the body from the Frame and the
paint from the vehicle a Rust Protection is applied to the car and Bodywork begins. With the body on the Rotisserie, we have a much better view of the rust and decay that need
to be addressed. The bodyshop/restoration techs begin their magic on the shell and the fabrication teams begins theirs on the frame and suspension.
