Re: 65 Corsa by barrist
Ordered all the front-end parts from Clark's.
Got a Real Surprise today, Shipping came in "Under" estimate, from web site.
Not sure that has ever happened to me before..........

Re: 65 Corsa by barrist
I got a Little done today................
You have to polish the bumper, before installing the guards..................
I'm sure that they are not as installed at the factory, but work for Me.
I really do like them.

Re: 65 Corsa by barrist
And even started playing with the "Stripes",,,,,,,,,
Hopefully, the Wife will loose, the NO Stripes. And I will be able to do the other side.
The "C" emblems are on the way, Thank You California Corvair.
I Really Like IT !

Re: 65 Corsa by barrist
Had some time before Work tonight ( Still doing that ), and worked on the Front.
The front seemed much easier, maybe a little more room.
Well, that's all for now, working midnight's and turning COLD again.

Re: 65 Corsa by barrist
Thank You Doug.............
OK, it's Cold, but I had to do something..........
The "C" was installed.
Much Gooder Now.
But one of the holes for the "C" on the passenger side seems to large. Any Ideas ?

Re: 65 Corsa by barrist
Time to start on the headlight bezels................
First, strip the anodizing, and what did't work...........
Items that didn't work,
Cheap oven cleaner ( Wife had some in the basement )
Draino
Sulfuric acid
Greased Lighting
What DID work,
Easy Off, Yellow Can............
Then sand 400,600,800,1000 and then 1500 twice..........
Followed Up with Polishing.
Left to Right, old bezel, stripped and sanded, and starting to polish.
Just started the polishing, but the difference reminds me of a saying from Grandpa,,,,,,,,
" Shines like a diamond in a goats a$$ "
