Here's Pic's of my head light project. I am restoring a 1968 vert. It was a true barn find.

I spent the week at 2ndGenerationRestoration. I made some progress. Stan (owner) is allowing me to do all I can to help fend off the cost of the restoration. I can't thank him enough. Here's some before and after pictures. I need 2 more days to finish prepping the body for removal. I striped the car with Aircraft stripper. All the paint came off nicely. The primer was another story. I had to DA the primer off. The stripper would not remove it? Anyway Stan assisted and I made progress with the DA. I have read a lot about paint removal from corvettes. Some say never use a DA and others say if you have the right touch it's a great way to remove the paint. The whole job was not near as messy as some lead to believe. So if you are on the fence with this type of job, I say go for it. It does take time but taking your time will yield good results.
