Thanks guys.

haha, I figured you would like them Chris, that is what alot of sanding can do for these things.  While I had the lens' apart, I took some black vinyl and put on the bottom of the lens' to give it a darker look to it.  turned out really good I think.

Going to be hard to finish the bird myself though, as I got called back to work starting thursday.  I am working my butt off right now triing to finish that dang cowl hood, then I will get the other scoop in it.

Wow does that ever look bad ass! You've inspired me, I'm gonna go clean mine up today!


What kind of clear coat did you use and how many cans? Also for removing the reflector did you just remove it and not replace it with anything? And what kind of vinyl did you use for the inside of the lights?

'88 Mercury Cougar LS, 302, Project Car - "The Coug"
'83 Ford Thunderbird Heritage, 302, Summer Ride, - "The Bambi Killer"
'86 Chevrolet S10, Daily Driver -  "The Black Beater"

Thanks guys, :cool: :o  But wait til the 351 :evilgrin: is in it to call it bad ass, LOL. ;)

I use a can of that high heat engine clear coat by duplicolor, removed the reflector and use 5 year vinyl from a decal shop that I cut myself to fit, from transfers I made.  then siliconed it back together.

When you pull the amber reflector, is there a hole left?
Only in America do we use the word "politics" to describe the process so well: "POLI" in latin meaning "many", "TICS" meaning "bloodsucking creatures".
