Re: 1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon Project

The simple cyklone works okay, and with most of the car stripped, I felt like
doing something fun for a change. Paint stripping is entertaining at best, but not
fun...
I had planned to paint the bumpers on the wagon, but since the front bumper
came out better than expected, I was going to give the rear bumper a try too.
The result is actually much better than I had dared expect, and I'm pleased
with the result. It took a lot of polising, and you can still see where water has
run made kind of paths. I assume a lot of polishing could get this off, but for
now this is what we have. As paint and clear from some previous repair had
been over sprayed on the bumper, and my chemical paint stripper didn't work
on it,it was polished off. All in all time consuming, but definitely worth the while.
I had started polishing before the "before" pic was taken, but the difference is
still obvious.
