    57 chevy bel air (barn find)

    well like the title says i just got a 57 chevy bel air. (copper) or light brown i guess is the color? well i need to get it all shined up has a liittle bit of sun discolor in the rear from the sun soming in the barn(what will work best on that) its all 100% original and i wanna bring her back to life. what the best process to use in starting with the paint since its from the 50's. i know all about the products of cars in the last 30 years but is their anything best to put in starting to bring the paint back other than clay bar and 80? will post pics as soon as i can.

    thanks in advance,

    Brian

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                          That's awesome. I'd love to see how it comes up after you've given it some TLC.
