| Chrysler 300B Full Frame-Off Show Quality Restoration is now in progress |
Sandblasting This project has been on hold awaiting a proper time to have a proper time to have the sandblasting done. The structure and the frame were sandblasted on Feb 7th 2015. We are now beginning the sheet metal work and for the next while updates will come every week or two. Championship Auto Shows – World of Wheels Calgary was February 20-22, 2015 we will be updating our website with show results for the seven vehicles entered by Investment Vehicle Restorations shortly – including a 300L. This car was painted thirty years ago. It had partial interior done and bumpers re-chromed etc. in 2007. It was mechanically certified in British Columbia in 2013 and driven sparingly, mostly to car shows in Alberta and BC - up until the fall of 2014. Even though the car is complete and a good runner the owner has decided he would like it fully disassembled and restored from the ground up. The restoration began on November 17, 2014 with the vehicle being disassembled. We will be updating the progress of this restoration on this website whenever work is being done. The car is expected to be fully completed and on display at the World of Wheels in Calgary, Alberta in February 2016. |
