I used a wire wheel in my drill using very little pressure to remove the heavy tarnish, then hand rubbed them with medium steel wool to finish. I was extremely happy with the results.

.... of day for the first time in eleven months. Momma and I are so happy. Here is a before shot, (my avatar is also a before), and today, I could not have done it without the folks here and on the other two boards. Now if I just can remember where the lug nuts are I can mount the tires. :-) Ben

That is the adhesive I used also. Strong stuff. If I would have known I could have sent you the 2/3's of a tub I have left over. It comes in two sizes, too much, and way, way too much. :-)

Thank you all. I was pretty sure that was the answer I would get, but I had to be sure. Thinking of all the new framing, sub floor, flooring, and most of all the new birch paneling getting even a little bit damp gives me nightmares and sets on panic attacks. I almost do not want to pull her outside. (But the first time I do can not come soon enough!) Thank you again, Ben

Moving into the final fit and finish on the exterior of the '63 Holly, we will be installing the new one piece aluminum roof this weekend, then, She will see the light of day for the first time in almost a year. This has been a frame up restoration so everything has been removed and replaced with new screws and putty tape. My question is this, is the putty tape enough or do I need to caulk all the joints with a non silicone caulk as a safe guard? Any help would be appreciated.
