68 Barracuda grill insert detail

Well,
here they are. Look ok to me. Working dings and dents out of aluminum is a tedious process. Not to mention getting the anodize off. They aren't perfect but look waaaaay better than before. They has some pretty bad dents in them but 90-95% removed most of them. All that is left is the striping around the surround. Repainted the surrounds with bright metallic silver. Grill inserts are charcoal gray with bright silver metallic on the edges of the fins and flat black in its factory areas.
The factory chrome was still pretty good too. Just some minor pitting where the headlight ring was touching the chrome part of the bezel.

I will tell you to scrap the whole SOS, WD40, Tooth Brush and Baking Soda cleaning theories!! I did those on the first two pieces for hours. On a whim I seen some Turtle Wax chrome polish for a few bucks so I picked it up and tried it. Wow, 10 minutes later I was finished with all the exterior chrome! That stuff really works and fast.
