Jason and Linda tell us about their Pontiac:
    We just entered your registry and wanted to write for help!!!  We just bought our 1948 Pontiac SilverStreak and have absolutely no idea where to start.  We are so excited to get started, but wanted to know what and where on the car would be the best place to start.  Please email us with some ideas.  Plus, we have heard it is not such a good idea to sandblast cars, what have you had the best luck with?
     We found the site by looking up 48 Pontiac on the internet.  -Jason and Linda
    Thanks for joining our registry and I hope someone out there will be able to offer some advice as to where to begin. I suppose you first have to decide how far you want to get into a restoration before you begin. You can repaint a car without removing all of the glass and trim. Once you strip a car (remove all of the parts) completely it is much more work (and more expensive to buy the weatherstripping) to put it back together. The reassembly of my Coupe has been stalled for many years now. Of course my 47 had a bent frame that needed to be replaced so it made sense to do a complete strip down before repainting.  It all depends how far you are willing to go and whether or not any rust damage you have is repairable without removing the body from the frame.
    Any more thoughts from those of you who may have been in the same place at one time or another? Feel free to drop a line to Linda and Jason, or better yet send it to me so we all can listen in!
    Good luck with your project!
