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!

NICE very NICE 👍

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.🙄

Have heard from my buddy that works for a car collector that they are having problems with seals also and they have tried several brand's

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

Have been working all weekend 

and here it is Sunday afternoon

justA had time to fit my brand new looking head light bezels .... cheers. To Del 👍👍👍

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

Edited November 7, 20214 yr by 64 kiwi boni

Been waitin to see those.

one had a crack so i used your favorite weld !! jb 👍 on the back side to strengthen it, you would never see the crack.

its all these little details that make for the finish... and yes its ALL got to come off again for paint but i want to ensure it all fits nicely... and the head light trims was the only part i was missing !!!

Looks great!

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?
