Minor details are finally getting the attention they deserve. I stripped the yellow steelies, sand blasted and then primed them with Variprime. Then I sprayed the wheels with Martin-Senour gloss black catalyzed urethane. This stuff is wonderful paint...and very affordable compared to the other brands. My local Brian's Auto Napa store carries the whole line of Martin-Senour. Brian (the owner) mixed my 1/2 quart of "Pepsi Black" himself . And the paint turned out excellent.
The trim is slowly getting attached to the Bel Air. It is tedious but rewarding. Most of the trim pieces are in good shape, just requiring bufffing with tripoli. Attaching the trim is slow at best, and I'm finding out I will have to make or buy some of the trim clips and fasteners. The photo below shows the taillight mounted...it looks like a car again!
