Re: Project 69SWB

I put all the tins in electrolysis and let it do the work of stripping the rust off and the paint as well.. Leaving me with nice clean metal to re-paint. For the weird green I had it color matched at O'Reilly's.. The needles are Duplicolor hugger green to match my engine and calipers.. and whatever else I end up doing green.

Fresh Paint and plastic. The Faceplate came from Manes, circuit and plastic from Classic Parts.. everything else.. came from 1969 ;-)

Had to pull out this rivet to get the tach needle pieces apart for painting.
