The Master himself. Nice video Lennard and great progress

Thanks guys.
For now it's sanding, primer, sanding, primer and more sanding.

Nice 68 with 6pack scoop

I started cleaning up the gauge cluster. Glass beaded and painted the housing. Put new lenses and gaskets in. I bought new gauges because restoring the originals was more expensive. I'm making my own volt meter to replace the amperage meter as you can see on the right side, because amp meters are prone to start a dash fire.

"Good busy"

Het probleem van een Ampère-meter is ook, dat als deze doorbrandt, dat dan ook spanning wegvalt verderop in het systeem. Dus de auto is dan 'dead in the water'.

That would suck... but not as bad as a car fire.

And the stock looking volt meter is finished.

Netjes, mooi werk!

Thanks Jeroen.
Restoring the taillights.

How did you do the taillights?

I took them completely apart. Rechromed the housing and I bought new bezels because mine were badly pitted.
Then I polished the lenses and when the housings came back from rechroming, I painted the reflectors silver and the housing partially black.

Nice looks good!

Almost ready for paint.

Test fitting the loose parts like the grill to check and fix the gaps.

Paint for my hooptie.

Vind je het niet zonde om na al het werk deze in flat black te spuiten?

No offense, zelf denk ik de dart later mat grijs te doen na restauratie. Of toch glans... voor de waarde en schoon houden beter
Maar ik doe het toch ook voor mezelf

I like satin black on a charger because it looks sinister.
I'm keeping the car till the day I die so I'm not worried about the resale value.
The fiberglass parts came out nice.

Awesome!!

Blasted the windshield wiper arms with glass beads and put new Trico classic blades on them. Now they look just like they did back in '68.

Back in black
