<VV> Aluminum finish

[corvairduval at cox.net]

A 65 has lots of aluminum trim also. This would include the wheel well
trim, headlight bezels, door step plates.

Tony Underwood had a technique for removing the coating so the aluminum can
be polished, then recoate for protection.

Maybe he will chime in.

Jerry,

Most of the trim you're referring to is stainless steel. Richard Widman
(CORSA member who lives in Bolivia) has written an excellent article on how
to restore stainless steel trim on Corvairs. He learned how to do this out
of necessity, restoring a 1960 model he found in Bolivia, where parts are
rare and shipping is expensive.

I'll send via separate email a pdf of his article.

Regards,

Jay Pitchford
