Jamison's '72 Dustpan

[dodgepower]

Got some supplies for Christmas and got to work on the tail light lenses!



These are for the grille, too!

 

[dodgepower]

lenses before paint



Close up of the worn paint and the stripe





seperated the lenses from the buckets to make it easier.

 

[dodgepower]

The lenses were pretty hazed



so we gave 'em a good wash




and gave 'em a good polish to start with

 

[dodgepower]

found a crack in one of the lenses. Just a small one, but still



thanks to FABO! We Super Glued the crack and sanded it down once the glue was completely dry





once the crack was sanded down, a little primer filler and sanded again

 

[dodgepower]

a gray scotch brite for a little prep work



then onto the Bulldog



a little primer



and a lot of finger sanding

 

[dodgepower]

Totally Auto's spray bomb of grille silver



all masked up and ready to paint



after letting the silver dry for about three weeks (we could no longer smell it) we could mask for the stripe



How the stripes turned out

Thanks. The plan for this is to lay in new floor boards. Just learned to weld over the summer and can't wait to do it on my car!

Just waiting for the day when I can grab the inspection mask and look over Jamison's shoulder to watch him go to town with the welder! As rumblefish says, "teach 'em young."

Jamison,
I just saw this thread now. Great work on the taillights! Glad to see a young gun with the patience to perform tasks like that. If you put that kind of effort and attention to detail into the rest of the build, that is going to be one terrific looking Duster. Keep up the great work!

Glad to see that uncle Robert is corrupting you to the ways of Mopar at such a young age. Listen to the wise advice and you'll learn alot about Mopars. We're proud of what you're doing. Good luck to you. Can't wait to see how the Duster turns out.
