It would appear that SOMEBODY has been having a lot of fun while I’ve been gone & hanging off the side of a building! WAY TO GO! Life’s short hug your Pontiac daily!

The weather is changing quick here! So I’ve got to tie up some loose ends with the house project and hopefully the snow won’t fly before I can get out and polish up some trinkets for you & Frosty!

I managed to get a hour on the head light trims today 

gave them a good polishing 

then masked them off, 

repainted the black in fills 

 then using a cotton bud and some acetone I wiped the paint off the chrome high lights .... very happy with the way they came out

I thought I had the wrong rubber installing mine because it’s so puffy the door didn’t want to close. I guess that’s normal until they flatten

what brand did you use Del ?

 

i have the same issue with the brand new door seals on my hq holden ute, and they have been on for over a year now !!! and the doors are still hard to close!!! ( they where rare spares brand, and supposed to be the best for holdens  😡!!!) 

yet the soft seal brand ones i stuck on my last 57 chev, worked perfect... guess its just luck.🙄

It seems about right. After being on a while it is easy to close

Polished up the wiper arms and fitted new blades , can’t get chrome ones any where so I had to settle with black !!

looking good,the way you are doing it is a good idea, more work but nicer end result, how about finding some used stainless wiper blades and just get some rubber refills?
