I've been working on the house remodel alot lately. But have been able to get out to the garage some evenings. Was able to get the headlights put together.
I started with 4 sets of headlights and picked the best parts from the batch to get the best set that I could. A huge transformation from parts like in this pic. These are some of the pieces that did not make the cut. Attached image(s) |

The sandblasting and powder coating of the buckets turned out great on these parts.
Spent a lot of time cleaning up all of the little pieces. Found out that laquer thinner takes ziebart coating right off of parts. Attached image(s) |

Had 1 good set of H4 headlights. Cleaned them up and the chrome rings.

I painted the surrounds with krylon Fusion paint. This is the first time that I have used the Fusion paint - so far it looks very good.
I have also painted the fresh air box assembly with this paint. I'll post pics of it when I get it finished. I had one air box done and then broke off one of the drain legs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So now I'm painting a second box. |
