I'm just about done with my efforts on the paint work and am focusing
On on smaller details like the lips behind the front and rear bumpers.

Hi hadn't set out to do any of this, it all started after a rain when I saw the car wet. It no longer had that "crusty" look and my objective was to find a what to lock in the look just after a rain and, well here we are! The condition of the paint was indicative of all aesthetic items and so items like the pitted chrome did look as bad as they do now that the paint is loved. I point this out because this is the reason I've begun hunting for new chrome
pieces.

I am happy to say that I found a near flawless basically inbox "airplane" hood ornament for $95! I also found a new chrome trunk handle for $125.
I'm really enjoying the way that the reconditioned paint and newer chrome trim looks together .

I made some progress on the bonnet I had absolutely zero hope for being able to bring back any of the color due to frequent heat and cool cycles and I was right but, where was wrong is that I didn't expect to be able to restore any luster or shine to this panel. In this photo the left side is complete and the right side still needs the final polishing stop and wax

I learned that the 51 didn't have a grill mounted crust but mine has what appears to be three holes used for mounting the crest can any one confirm if that's what these holes are for

Harold: If you are interested in knowing what paint I used for the trunk emblem, I used Duplicolor MetalCast but again, the reason the colors are so vibrant even through the plastic is a result of the plastic being polished so that it is clear

Thanks Harold and Don!
