Default Blacked Out Rear Cove

I had learned the car was just body paint in the Cove, but I like the look of the Black.

Hope things have been OK with you. I HAVE to see the pics of this car done. Super nice restoration.
The build date on the frame is exactly the same as my '66 SS, but mine was built in Atlanta and had the black out tail panel. May still have been painted at the dealer, but it was over the base color when I sanded it all down.

Hey Thankyou. In the past few weeks I cut and buffed the car. I have just the hood left. Im kinda into another project 67 Malibu driver car so i have been balancing my after work time between this car and the 67. I will probably spend this summer finishing the interior, putting on the vinyl top and sending the trim off to be re-anodized. Should have finished pictures next winter.

That's cool you know how to do all that, makes you appreciate the finished product so much more. I'd like to see some pics of both cars. 67 was my all time favorite year. Good luck with both of your cars!

Default Tail Lamps

Finally back working on the car. Tail Lamps were recently assembled because I finally got my aluminum trim I stripped and polished back from anodizing. Most of the parts looked good but I finally spent time over break working a few grills and the ever hard to find eyebrow moldings. Will be sending those off in the new year. In the mean time here is the tail lamps. Alot of time taken to put it all together, put in the correct seals, hardware, and spacers. They fit the car very nice with even gapping all around.

One other thing I think many miss, there is a very small but useful edge gasket that goes around the outside of the bezel to keep a seal between the tail lamp extension and the quarter. Soft seal has a pretty nice reproduction piece to match the original.

Default Head Lamp Trim Paint

Much like the other aluminum trim I also redid all the front end pieces. Here is some paint work. I never fully understand how others spend countless hours on there restorations yet forget how to correctly paint the headlight bezels wings. It takes more time to tape off all the ribs only to make them correct for a malibu. I suppose the thought goes along with the number of cars I see gas tank gaskets put under the straps and not up against the body
