Here are some more pics. Most of the parts are now refinished, ready for assembly. I had all the small parts replated as original.
These are the zinc plated parts, done by Jules.

While the car was at the paint shop, I also restored a lot of the parts, here is the refinished grille. I stripped the grille to bare plastic by glass beading using a very fine glass bead. I used the paint sold by Frank Badalson. I am very happy with the outcome. I tried to duplicate the factory overspray as well.

Heater box restoration. I removed all the riveted brackets, glass beaded the case and re-finished using a satin clear coat.

Looks awesome! How much did Ready Strip charge for the dip and coating if you don't mind me asking?

Robert.

This is a really good pic, just wish it was larger so I could see all your part numbers on the replacement parts.

I'll be doing the same thing to my SW Column and I have never done one before. Yours turned out really nice and I'm hoping mine will look that good when done. I have many of the parts you have in that photo but I must be missing some, Don't have that many boxes.

Looks great!

Joe
