Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Put a couple of shiny bits together yesterday. Clean, polish, repeat. The undercoating has protected, now working on removing from all the hardware that it covered inside the doors, rear qtrs. Potholes, door locks, all that had gooey, sticky tar . No rust though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 It was! How this thing lived in Wisconsin and had this clean of a bumper will remain a mystery. Maybe the mystery is what happened to the paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Verde Green (I know, redundant) - if it was an Olds it would be Cypress Green or Chevy would be Cypress Green. Steve (the painter) took the previous pictures while the mist was still in the air (I was assured a Mask was still on) The haze lifted by Saturday when I went to visit. I've been busy shining still...I wish I could find new Ventiports. These are not bad, but I saw half a set of NOS LeSabre ones on eBay and they really pop. Onward through the fog! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
