Is it just me, or does that dash look perfect?

Funny, I noticed how good it looked after I took the photo, but not while I was there.

Salvageable 300 grille. Leon’s.

Behold. A passenger mirror, where once there was none from Belvidere.

Yes I am happy. It’s the little things. Just to know I drilled the holes in the right spot is a relief. I’ll make improvements later. For now it’s A-OK.

And thanks for the encouragement.

It is one more improvement that makes me want to drive the car.
It's been a few years since I've been there.
There was a Formal there that the wasp's took over. I gave up getting anything from that car. Lol

Was it blue? I think I know the car. You have to go in winter, when the zombie-wasps hibernate.
This one.... green/rust color. The zombie wasps were living in the roof. I ran into a bunch of snakes there too. LOL!
Does Leon's have the same sign and rules???

Disassembling and stripping and repainting the hubcaps.

Almost looks better without paint. Almost.

Whoever supplied the hubcaps back in the day did a good job with the paint. I suspect it was baked on. It’s thick and durable - it’s not coming off easily.

While I am in the business of stripping paint, I am experimenting with a heat gun to peel off the old fake wood vinyl.

What a baked on mess. This is gonna be some man hours, any way you slice it.

Took me about an hour. Heat gun for the nasty brown stuff, goo gone for the adhesive residue.
