Photo 65 - 67 - Removed the overspray and was able to keep the original finish on the brackets. I coated in them RPM after being soaked in evapo. Notice a trend yet? lol

BTW the screws are from the license plate light.

Great project Darrell, and glad to see your finally getting onto the 68 Z. I assume you're removing the rear spoiler and plan to repair the trunk lid and repaint the deck?

Looking forward to following this one.

I’d like to not paint anything at this point as I mentioned in an earlier post. If I do anything it’ll be make some plugs and paint those and put them into the spoiler holes. I’m also looking for original paint fenders but that is becoming a task I’m not sure I can accomplish. But I have time. I may change my mind on painting anything but for now that’s the current path. Long road ahead but I have the time now just waiting on the cash flow to keep pace. Which it never will.. lol

Great thread to followin, inspiring.

Not to derail your thread Darryl, but did you ever finish up the Chevelle you were working on? You had a couple of teaser pics that had me licking my chops!

Out of the respect of the owner I’ll show just as few finished photos as the owner is pretty private.

WoW!!!!

Thanks Tim. Working around the car to the drivers quarter. Still some of the same. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I also had been wondering how the Chevelle turned out, Wow, fantastic!! I'd like to cross paths with it some day!

As time allows I've been doing a similar "No-paint cleaning and preservation" on a Chevelle.

Great work Darryl!!
