Hi Friends,
I only had a little time for car-play this afternoon. I used much of it digging
parts out of boxes as my TD project re-commences. That's when I discovered that
I hadn't painted the headlight support castings. So guess what I did with the
rest of the time available.
Yes, I stripped the old paint from the left support and cleaned it further on
the wire wheel. The bare metal was then primered and is now drying. Tomorrow I
will prep and primer the right support. While the primer on both sides cures I
will search for the bolts for one end and nuts for the other. Wednesday, those
parts will get a nice coat of Autumn Red.
Now, the question: I have seen MG TDs with chrome headlight pods and chrome
front trim bits, and other TDs with body color pods with chrome front trim
bits. Which is correct for a late '53? Both? Or are the painted pods just an
attractive solution for damaged chrome?
