January 31, 20169 yr Author comment_485736 I picked up some more spare parts this weekend too. A set of taillights and surrounds plus two good valve covers. That will allow me to do some experimenting with the paint or polish finish.

Yeah, mine were in decent shape so I taped them off before painting. Big mistake, I wish I would've stripped them and had them painted body color, then either dip them or buy new tab covers.

January 31, 20169 yr Author comment_485741 New tab covers? Didn't know they existed. I thought they were dipped. Heat shrink would look goofy.
