Thanks guys,
The horns are plastic crap so not entirely worried about decay !
The stone tray and bumper will protect them a fair bit.

Re: Chev EK
OK Guys,
So after a knee operation (torn Meniscus) and 6 weeks down back into it !!
I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get this finished ????
So I took it easy on my legs for the last 2 weeks and sat down literary and prepped all my hanging panels, don't ask me how many times Ive primed and rubbed cause its all a blur !!!!!!
Colour on some bits tomorrow if all goes well. Getting closer and closer, gawd the time flys when you get older !!!!
Regards Greg

Re: Chev EK
I really like that colour. You've done well under that bonnet... all the nooks and crannies makes them a nightmare to cover without runs or waves.

Re: Chev EK
Couldn't fit the original spring on the bonnet hinges so I lashed out and got some up to date gas strut hinges.
Gives me heaps more clearance for a bigger booster if the need should arise.
I had to relieve the water channel to fit them but that's ok I needed to touch up the paint in this area anyway.
Will paint the bonnet tomorrow and chuck it on !!!!

Re: Chev EK
Very interesting. They look well put together. They would be lighter than originals by the look.

Re: Chev EK
Started some rubbing back and buffing, got a couple of spots you can hardly see that I will leave until I see how the rest of the car turns out. Its addictive and I have become obsessed to have everything perfect !!
GRRRRRRR ! Just a driver !!!!!
Needs a fine polish to get the swirls out, more time to spend later on.
Two guards and 3 doors to go !!!!!!
