The deluxe switches have the lamp assembly on them. Most people probably never realize this. Makes a nice touch at night.

Re: 63 rebuild
 

Wow looks brand new! May I ask how does the process go( sand first with three grits then polish?) and what grit paper do you use??or tips on doing it....

Re: 63 rebuild
 

Started with washing with soap and water then sprayed oven cleaner with sodium hydroxide in it let sit for 15 min washed off then done it one more time.started wet sanding with 320 /600/1000/2000 then hand polished with mothers until it shined and polished some more .this took me about 14 hours in all

great looking project, subscribed, need to go back and read through the entire build

Re: 63 rebuild
 

Super Job. Subscribed
And your close too.

Re: 63 rebuild
 

What do you plan to do to preserve the shine. The aluminum will dull and corrode won't it?

Re: 63 rebuild
 

Haven't found any info on keeping the shine on it besides a little wax every now and then
