67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
When I got the grill out for installation the last time I was at my parents place and I notice the grille I wanted to use (the one I got from Carlisle a couple years ago, the bright aluminum was in better shape than the grille that came with the car) didnt have the argent silver painted on the lower part. So seeing that, I decided to polish the aluminum and paint the the argent silver. I used Krylon 1403 Dull Aluminum and it does match the repro headlight doors pretty well. I polished and painted the reverse light housings (that I got from a member here)
and did the same to the parking light housings:
I used Rustoleum 7718830 Bright coat chrome. both came out very well! Also got the light bulbs and lenses installed in the parking lights and installed that into the grille so its read for installation the next time I am in!
Excuse the mess, there is a bunch of winter projects I am trying to finish up before warm weather gets my attention diverted.
