Brent,
Do you have any that would? I'll buy them if need be.


Mike,

I sent you a PM as to keep from hi-jacking Zach's thread.

the 86 and down trim is much easier to deal with than the 87-88.  nice smooth flat surface to work on.

Are you using sanding compound or what to get them back in color?  Your doing great work, you alway do.  I lost track of something i guess but what happend to your burgandy coug?

Wow, that's incredible.  That's one of those things that one would barely consider as even possible.

Here's something new that I've been working on.

I searched my local junkyard for a non-yellowed dome light cover. I finally found one in a Crown Victoria. After polishing the plastic, which can be very fragile, I was able to make it look nearly new.
The chrome light base, which was in pretty poor shape, was brought back to life using the ol' bench polisher.
The picture is blurry, but it really does look NOS.

You can buy that lens from autozone.  They used to stock it but not any more.  Ask to see their Dorman catalog.  Its behind the counter.
