more polishing
spun it around, tossed it on the lift
ugh, a run
undercoated the wheel wells, this is very important because if rocks hit the fender from the tire - you'll chip paint
same story, verse 2
I'm going to murder this out.... everything black - thought about brushed stainless but no, black is better

making the pile smaller
the louver was hitting the air cleaner... so I shaved the base at an angle... clearance
lordy does it get dusty
but I like it and the louvers clear
blacking out side pipes
sand then hang
then bake the coating on
yep, thinking I like it
this is a test... paint would not survive here for long, but I wanted to see what it'd look like anodized black
now to take it to the coater.... yes, I like it a lot
this is the last bit I need to polish and paint...

my biggest fans
mirrors... going to make them black too.... just not 100% sure how
even the carpet is now down for a good clean
hmmmm. should I use it?
my stack of chrome to make black.... I may have a plan for this, though
fittings and hose... but not enough fittings... I also have yet another bracket system on its way, so nothing is set until that gets here
for the next person doing this... 5/8, 16mm 18mm, 18mm, 18mm
that is... the fitting size for the PS pump, the pump-to-hydroboost size, the hydroboost to the steering rack an finally the steering rack outlet....

the pointless existence of painting parts
and scrub the wheels...
so here it goes.... use header paint on the stainless and chrome
except rockers that get rocker paint
these are going to be a challenge
and why not, while I'm at it, replace the windshield
in my defense, the window has to come out to get those chrome corners off
it did come out, but not without a fight, likely this is original GM
and a bit of rust converter
tomorrow more of the same, but I can start putting it back together....Doing it all wrong since 1966
