Thanks bomber! I didn't share any of the 'before' pics here but rest assured the hood trim, grille and especially the headlight bezels came a long way.
After reading this thread last night, I went to bed happy. This trim restoration stuff is a relatively new thing for me on a professional level, and I have to share that comments like zigs' and the rest of yours mean more to me than any paycheck in the world. Don't get me wrong -- it's great making a little money -- but the personal satisfaction of bringing life back to the dead / potential scrap parts is beyond rewarding.
