67 Barracuda convertible
It`s been a long time since I`ve had a chance to work on this car, but while I`m doing the body work during the day I`ve started working on the trim at night. Here`s a little work I`ve done on the headlight bezels. I started with sound pieces but both are dinged up well so I had to do a lot of straightening first. I picked several pieces of wood as well as a screwdriver, and a center punch to bang out the dents. Once all the dents are out I flipped the the bezel and started sanding with 220 then moved to 400 grit sandpaper. From there I took the bezel to my buffer and with white and red rouge I buffed it out. I finished by painting the trim with a paint pencil and Mopar argent silver paint. Here`s a couple pictures of the restoration. The last 2 pics are of the other bezel, before and after straightening and rough sanding.
