Yup, You read that right, a Safe. Here At Ultimate Restoration we do more then just cars. Here we have a late 1960’s Safe that we restored for a customer of ours, we took it in with many years of damage and a bunch of thick paint. We stripped it down to bare metal and begain doing all of the metal work and fixing all of our imprefections, then we treated it just like our show winning car restorations by giving it it’s first round of high build primer. Once that was all set we blocked the whole safe down to make sure it was perfectly straight. Once that was all set we seam-sealed all of our edges, giving it a cleaner then original look. Then we masked the whole inside of the safe up carefully to make sure we got no paint over spray or any debris inside the safe, and wet sanded it thoroughly getting it ready for paint. Once it was set we rolled it in the booth and gave it some new life. After a quick color sand and buff it looks better then new, and is an outstanding piece to put in any home.
Nice Job! I am contemplating a similar project on a 1920’s Art Metal safe in Iowa. I am working with a local safe manufacturer who will convert the office safe into a gun safe. Do you mind telling me the approximate amount it cost to renovate this safe?
Thanks for your time. Pictures like these get me excited about my own project.
i totally agree
I’ve come across that these days, more and more pepole are attracted to cams and the discipline of pictures. However, really being a photographer, you will need to first invest so much time frame deciding the model of photographic camera to buy and also moving store to store just so you might buy the most affordable camera of the brand you have decided to select. But it isn’t going to end at this time there. You also have to contemplate whether you should buy a digital dslr camera extended warranty. Thx for the good tips I accumulated from your web site.
