Hi All,
After 12 years and counting on my 64 BJ8 restoration, she goes to paint =
this summer.=20
I pulled the grill out of storage to see what it will take to restore to =
like new. Although the vertical teeth are in pretty good shape in regard =
to dents and damage, there is much corrosion especially on the sides of =
the teeth. After trying several levels of polishing attempts, I=E2=80=9Dm=
not sure I=E2=80=9Dm going to be able to restore to acceptable quality. =
I thought about fully dismantling it so I can polish each tooth, but =
this could take another 12 years!!
Moss sells a reproduction grill for $500.Does anyone have any comments =
on the quality of the reproduction part? Does anyone have any advice as =
to repro vs restoration for the grill?=20
Thanks in an advance for any help that anyone can provide.
