The taillight housings have some very minor pitting in them that can be seen upon closer examination but money restraints keep me from buying replacements at this time. Again the trick was buffing the chrome and then masking them off for paint.

Right now I am thinking Magnum 500s but the 15" aftermarket version. The steels with the dog caps might be a good place to start though when looking at my budget. LOL

Took a few pics for reassembly purposes and then stripped one bucket seat back. Bought new foam and seat covers (Legendary) and will begin reassembly shortly.

Have a 55 Chevy truck in my garage that I am building for someone so it may take awhile before I get things together in my car. It seems these side jobs always take precedent over my car since that's where I get the money.
