I didn't realise how long it had been since my last update!
So I had better put this right.
I have been doing bits and bobs to the car over the winter. Mainly finishing the wiring. Fitting the front end lighting and getting all the lights and turn signals working. The halogen headlights are MUCH better now I have fitted relays. Very bright.
For the last few days I have been restoring a used grille that Bob (jh27n0b) very kindly gave me a while ago (18 months?).
This grille was in much better condition than my own which had suffered quite a bit of damage before I owned the car.
The only problem was that this grille was from a non-R/T car and so was painted with the textured argent silver. So I had to remove this completely first before I could paint the grille black. I used a chemical paint stripper after testing on a small area first to make sure it would not effect the bright finish under it.
I did this work soon after the grille arrived from Bob but only now have I started to re-paint it. I will show you the finished results later.
