Man I love this build! :thumbsup:

Appreciate that Demon,

Spent a couple hours cleaning up my crusty headlight bucket assemblies this evening, I was pretty young fresh out of high school back when I did the colour change to black but that's not an excuse for the sloppy workmanship lol, doesn't look like I removed very much and did a half fast masking job black paint on everything,

I broke them down to the parts and blasted the mounting frames and the springs and clips, then painted the frames satin black and buffed up the springs and blackened the clips,

Then I emptied out my blasting cabinet and switched to walnut shell too knock the paint off the headlight pots and not damage the galvanizing that might remain and blast the adjusting screws and plastic clips and the stainless rings,

turns out the galvanizing is in excellent condition under the overspray and road grime, happy to see that. Took about two hours to clean up the parts just need to do a little assembly,
