Cinnamon 75 Duster \
Had a great (but hot) day at Carlisle yesterday. Met up with some members. Got a few odds and ends.
I had replaced the rear view mirror with a slightly better but slightly different one before, but still was not 'good' Found one with near perfect glass in it and the exact style it had originally for $15. Was on a B body mount, but my mount was in good shape and they are interchangeable.
Found some cleaned up original side bumpers for the hood. I had bought new from Metro last year, but they are wrong (one laying in pic) would not allow the hood to close! Also got new adjusters. They had some lettering in the top of the rubber and were way too shiny. Ran my DA sander on them with 220grit and ..no more letters. Then went over the whole thing with 400 and buffed it with a pad on the drill. Now they have a little sheen instead of the brand new cheap plastic look.
