Hi all,
Got a 60 T-Bird HT. I was just needing a little information about the type of seal or sealing material that is used in the body where the whole assembly mounts to the car. The three holes for the wires and bulbs then the holes for the studs. I took off the assembly and cleaned them up. Then I gave myself arthitis using 0000 Steel Wool to clean up the chrome. Then a silicon type protectant to prevent more rust. Even though they are pitted they look a little more presentable. Then I used the Craft pen idea to repaint the squares. This worked OK but it did take a little bit of time. Probably a lot less than masking and spraying. I am a novice restorer at best. Anyway I am posting a picture of what I am talking about and hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks.
