Here the first look at my paint job. It absolutely stunning in the sun. I'll start next week detailing it out then start reassembly. Can't tell how thrilled I a with it. The photos don't do it justice.
-
Nice - great color on a great car. Here's a word of advice - be careful when you open the front doors; if you open them just a little too far the front edge digs into the front fender and leaves a scratch! You see a lot of them that way.
-
What you say is true of the rear doors as well. I had to adjust the so that they would not rub the post. My trunk lid was a little high on the right side and I worked with it to correct it. There are two small sags that will need repairing before I can bring it home. I'm so very pleased with it. Can't wait to put the interior back in it.
-
Looking great Joe. Can't wait to see the finished product!
-
Look'n very good.
-
I'd leave the sags in place...just like the factory did!
Seriously, it looks great!
-
The photos dot pick up the metallic in the paint. It is stunning to look at. I have all of the interior to go into it. I can tell you this, I will not pass myself on the road.
-
that is beautiful .....is that a factory color.
-
Yes. It is the correct color for this particular car according to the body tag and fender script.
-
Looks great Joe!! ;)

Beautiful

I went through some old family movies made in 1949. Here is my grandparents 1949 Kaiser. Looks alot like mine. I am going to post some moving pictures of my grandfather's KF Showroom later today and will post a link. In addition to cars, you can pick up signs, posters and advertisements in the background.
-
Looking forward to seeing the movies! And your car looks great.

Just got her back from the paint shop. In a word Beautiful.

Caribbean Coral is an amazing color. That's going to be one great looking car when you get it all back together. It looks pretty nice already I must say.

I started putting on the stainless trim on the doors and ran into a problem. The clips don't want to pull the stainless trim tight against the door. Is there a fix for this or do I have to buy new clips?
-
Finishing up the driver side.
-
Looks great!
-
Hopefully all the clips ended up pulling the trim tight. If not, take a clip that worked well and compare the profile with a clip that didn't. Is the good clip flatter? If so, the bad clip has gotten bent in a bit of a "C" shape, probably while removing the trim. Usually you can flatten it out and make it work.
-
I changed out the clips on the door because I could get to the backside. I used a clip with a stud and a nut so I could pull it tight against the door. I can't get to the back side of the rocker but had some clips in a box.
The bad news is I don't have enough clips for the passenger side so I'm going to have to come up with something.
My rockers did not have the trim on when I bought the car. I noticed last night when I put them on they are a little banged up. The door trim is in good shape.

It is really nice to see a correct restoration on a'49-'50 sedan like this. These are the cars that often get overlooked. Truly stunning.
