1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
More blower motor.....
Fast forward to today.. The tail lights were in rough shape. I dremeled grooves in the broken tabs and cracks then taped the broken tabs on ready for JB Weld.
The dremeled grooves in the cracks
....
Laid in JB weld with a popsicle stick on EVERY tab to give it some strength..
Tape built dams for rebuilding missing plastic.
Here are the old somebody drilled for a hack light. Tape on the inside and filled with JB Weld.
Ready to put aside to dry..
The hole fill kept running so I put tape over this side to hold it in.. I have to sand it anyway so I will just sand the tape away when dry...
This is the LH tail light I restored yesterday. I know know it should be Argent but holding this up to the tail panel with the Twister stripes Black is the way to go. The RH side is cracked horrible. I JB Welded it but found a decent lens only on eBay for $35. I ordered it.
