Re: Poor man's '63 aluminum grill

Now here are the headlight brackets. This gives me time to replace bad screws. I used a wire brush and a Scothbrite scuff pad since I don't have a bead blaster. I also get to primer paint. I used a flat black to match up the patina.

A light scuff with the pad and a light primer will do.

Since the grinders won't fit, I also scuffed the back of the grill.

I did half of the paint removal here.

This is where the die grinder helps. It'll get in through tight spots with the wire wheel bit.
