Rubber coated RS valence

**hogdaddy** · #1 03-31-2021, 10:27 PM

Sometimes I am amazed at the stuff on Ebay. I did the BIN on this piece 3 days ago and received it today.

After removing the factory rubber coating I realized what a truly nice valence this is for the price. It is a 67 nos lower valence with the early GM sticker still attached.

Front side still mostly has factory E prime but back side has mostly surface rust.

Maybe a good candidate for Ospho or the PPG metal cleaner and neutralizer SX579 that Chuck Burg mentioned in his Day 2 restoration?

This will be going on my 67 SS/(RS conversion) convertible clone that has all new GM nos panels bought years back since fenders are RS.

Dang, nice piece. You don't happen to have an extra tail panel ??
You could use Evapo-Rust on that too and not need a neutralizer.

Find anything big enough and line it with a rubber membrane. I lined a 144 gallon stock tank with rubber roofing to soak fenders in.

Regarding reproduction parking lights, does anybody have any experience/ on which manufacturer is the best for a 67 RS?

Still wandering about Evapo-Rust. After soaking part to remove rust what is the next preparation to get some primer/paint on parts?

I found that there are 2 different venders for parking lights. AMD and OER and based on pictures, I ordered AMD.

The AMD are made by Classic Headquarters. AMD provides many other parts from outside to be a complete source.
I "think" that is the brand I got from Heartbeat City too, but don't recall for certain. Those are sitting in a cabinet waiting to be installed.

I came across this video today and I'm thinking seriously about using muriatic acid on this panel instead.
I still can't imbed a video here.
