Re: 1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon Project
Small steps.
Seems I work hours on end, and nothing happens. One explanation is that all and every part needs some work before mounting to the wagon. These side markers/327 emblems are a good example. They needed to be polished, and while I was at it, I decided to paint the black areas. To make things just a bit more interesting, the top one, on the left hand side is off a 307 car, and I painted the zero to a two. I'll look for a 327 emblem at some later point, but for now we have to make do with the painted one. ![]() The front is coming nicely. The bumper is still not perfect, but compared to before, at least it's much better. This is a good lesson to me: No more cars with crooked and bent bumpers! Actually I was going to stay with the patina look, but it kinda got out of hand. I painted some details today, and will probably get the head lights mounted this evening. ![]() All side marker lenses are cleaned up thoroughly, and polished, all tail lights are new, as are the park/turn signals in the front, and the headlights. The wagon cleans up pretty nicely, even if the chrome leaves some to desire. |
