'70 Duster Revival: Drag Racing Heart | Pro Touring Soul

The firewall needed to be slightly modified in order to utilize a non-A/C heater box, the fuel lines were ready to be mounted and the motor was ready to be dropped in... so naturally I started restoring the tail lights.

After seeing the price of reproduction lenses I knew I had to make what I had work. I had 2 sets of used tail lights so I chose the best pieces and made 1 good set. With the housing and lenses disassembled, I blasted, primed and painted the metal parts. After carefully taping off the outside of the housing I then shot the inside with Duplicolor Chrome. The lenses were polished with the clear headlight polish that can be found at any major auto parts store. This helped to remove the bulk of sun faded blemishes and minor scratches. With a new set of gaskets from DMT I reassembled the pieces and installed them on the car. I was very pleased with the results!
