Redoing some grills

[fishman]

Went by the paint shop and picked the grills up for the 67. Brought them home and took them apart. Took some time polishing the chrome and then a little paint. They are ready now to go back on the car when the man calls. So what do you think of a rookie resto.

Looks good. What kind of polish did you use on them?

I used some that one of our members had talked about. It's sold at lowes for polishing their truck boxes its called Diamond brite. I also used argent silver in the surounds and did the black in the grate.

Came up nice. Lucky you, no dents as far as I can tell in the surrounds.

They look fantastic! Excellent work.

They look pretty good! Were you able to remove all the anodizing from those surrounds? As sydcuda mentioned, it's a good thing they weren't all dented up......it seems really hard to find ones that haven't been used as a push-bar at some point in their life.

Thanks for all the comments. I was lucky that there wasn't any dings. Another thing that might help someone is for the black line I went to a arts and craft store and got a paint pen. It worked real good fit right in the grove. Looks like it is going to be a week or so before it is finished. Can't wait to put the top down a hit the road. Thanks again Tom

Yep the living room is where all the good stuff is. The bumpers and all the trim. I can get away with it because it's the wifes car. (Thats my story and I'm sticking to it) LOL
