aluminum Polishing

Post by 69Ford »

First try at aluminum Polishing. One down one to go. The background is painted argent silver to match my F500 setup. Hope this looks good installed sorry don't know what these parts are called. there's slight orange peel in the paint but I think it will look good.

That looks nice, I like what you've done with the lower trim pieces. Please post a picture or two when you have them in the dash.

I was wondering what to do about the extra hole for the backup light since my truck did not have one. Then it hit me in the middle of the night I saved the oil change reminder off the dash some time ago. It worked perfect and is in the same position as it was installed. There is a date of 1975 on one. This truck was always in my family so kind of neat.
