We've been hired to restore a beautiful carriage from the 1870's! Everything is original as far as the wood and metal. The owner Ben Day did his best to get the Muroon paint off of the wood and metal. But it soon became apparent to him that it was going to take more than a little sand paper. My parents brought the carriage down on a trailer from Northern Utah and it's about to spend 4 months in our garage.
Over those 4 months Stan will Sand blast, strip and sand for what seems like forever. Here are the pictures of what the Carriage looked like when it came into our hands.
I also added some pictures of what the interior looks like. It's not original. Probably redone sometime in the 1970's. I'm so glad they didn't pick some kind of retro color.
