Pics of the headlight bulb retainers and trim rings, note all the blue paint on the trim rings from that quality 1970's body shop.  Had to remove the paint and polish them. You have to be very careful not to remove the flash chrome, it's extremely thin. At least 45 minutes per ring. The pic with 2 rings is before & after polishing, Last pic is the horn button, again with the 1970's body shop, there was blue overspray on this and the center is plastic so no lacquer thinner on it, took an hour to polish off the overspray (Maguiar's Plastex). The 2 black rings had to be repainted, one with a brush and the larger one was sprayed. |
