Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
I know my young friend @nickwheeler will agree and look me straight in the eye, winking knowingly, when I say some people should never be allowed within six foot of a rattle can of paint.
Exhibit no 1 ![]() So on the way home from collecting the car, I picked up a couple of colour matched cans of VW Reflex Silver. ![]() By Thursday I had already started to disassemble the car. Prizefighter look. ![]() ![]() And Ugleeee…… ![]() Cleaned off, then repainted Simoniz chrome. ![]() Mehhhh….. Fail. ![]() So the rest of the grille was cleaned, scotch pad prepped and then plastic primer added. Cold, wet day out there, so I used a paint stripping gun to add some heat and dryness to the paint drying. Followed by silver all over , then cut out masks for the grille bars, and painted black. ![]() ![]() Looking like this up close. ![]() Tried out together. Not quite. ![]() Also repaired a tab that was broken before I dismantled it all. Two pack epoxy. ![]() So I fixed the wrong sized, curse word grille badge. Not able to find one yet. ![]() And next day when red paint dried, I tried it on. Liking that. ![]() So glued in place. ![]() Following day, reassembly. ![]() And of course a short video on the badge getting done. https://youtu.be/ntRQT9w1wJw?si=RKs4lJavhKxhgCTL Little things. Bigger changes, Whatcha think?
