spencer1984 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I forgot to take some "before" pics of this swap meet find, but maybe this before and after of the glass can give you an idea of its condition when I started: Other than the much-needed cleaning, I rechromed the bumpers, replaced the broken wheels, made new headlight covers, and gave it the missing trim components: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer1984 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Thank you! I have yet to successfully pull a vacuformed part, maybe something to try again in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
