Re: My new to me 356C
After cleaning up as much I could by hand I used a paint remover
The bare metal looks really good besides little surface rust on the sides
What should I use to neutralize the rust prior primer?

Re: My new to me 356C
Hello
My car did not come with the bumper guards on the front or rear
Wife wants them and my job is to make it happen LOL
Where can I get 4 Bumper Guard, I was thinking using 4 (front ones) I dont need with holes in the rear, already chrome would be great

Re: My new to me 356C
Stoddard has nice reproductions but decent used ones can be found if your wife is willing to be patient.

Re: My new to me 356C
Thanks, I book marked Stoddard on my 356 for future orders
Because I am keeping the old patina on the chromes, used one would look much better
