1963 Dart 170 2 Door Post Resto

Finally got out last night and as I had enough epoxy left over I decided to prime the rest of the small parts that I had ready to go. Came out pretty good. Really happy with the headlight rings. Going body color on the outer ring. They were dented up pretty badly and while I was able to get them close they weren't perfect, so I sanded off the anodizing and did some body work to smoothen them out to look nice. They will be painted green and the face and inner will stay polished aluminum. It will pull the headlights back into the body do they don't look like they protrude as much. This will help as I have already tucked in the front bumper with the custom bumper I made. Should look pretty good.

Now to get a new valve in the spare rim and mount my spare. I will do this in primer as I can tape up the tire using the playing card trick. If I try to install a new tire after paint guaranteed I'll scratch up the paint.

Then hopefully final cleanup and prep for paint by the end of the week, early next week.
