overdrive Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Did you get the idling problem solved? Â I had a good day of straightening and polishing the stainless windshield trim and the wide beltline trim for my '70. Â Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71MonteCarloMD Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Cleaned up tail light , prepping for primer in Spring - what would your advice be to clean up the white part? Do I sand them down to metal then repaint white or leave them as it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Are they metal or plastic? I was going to do mine but never got around to it maybe some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71MonteCarloMD Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It looks and feels like metal to me, here's picture rear of the tail light that is all in one part, I don't see anything to take it apart any further. Â Speaking of the rear of tail light, any advice on prep for primer, do I even bother to prime the rear of the tail light at all or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Rick, clean up the inside of the housing with steel wool, But first stuff cotton balls in the sockets. Then mask off real well and spray paint gloss white, several coats.. Your tail lights will really glow bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dans '70 Z20 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Car is drivable ( fenders/hood painted but not installed). From rear car looks done. Interior done minus rug and door panels. PW in with all glass but need to install PDL motors before we can install panels. Then install fenders/hood and front bumper and trim. 5000 grit wet sanding & polish. Then we need to install balance of exterior chrome. Â Dash in, radio installed, rear deck done, trunk done & painted and car running otherwise. Been a long time coming and getting anxious. Looking forward to having a car to truly participate in a show. Â Maybe I'll email some pics when I get home. Â Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
