Update 04/10/2006
Car is
back from the restorer. Paint and body are complete and
bumper fillers are in place. I have installed the grill,
bumpers, headlight trim rings, taillights, and all chrome around
the wheels and lower part of the body. In addition, new
door seals were installed.
The process we used is to clean all parts
well, remove all tar and other contaminants. We then used
Barkeepers Friend and then 0000 steel wool on al chrome pieces.
This was followed by Turtle Wax Chrome Polish and then Meguiars
wax.
Assembly was done one side at a time using all
new bolts, screws and retainers. Most lined up pretty good
and some took a little persuasion.
Still need to install the door edge guards and
the door ding guards that go from front to rear the length of
the body.
