I stripped and cleaned my louvers, added the DMC spine support, primered and painted them in SEM gloss black. Came out like brand new!

Thank you very much. I'll be happy when there back on the car. This is a second set i had. The original louves were broke in 2 spots and these here came off a wrecked DeLorean but the top was really bleached out and scratched.Quote:

I began to tackle the last job on the exterior - re-painting the black windshield header panel. It's faded, chipped, and stained. I waited until I was able to take off the front outer door seals, so I could take the panels off the car to paint.

I removed the trim panels, and discovered that the N8 truss screws that fasten the front header retainer were rusted. In keeping with my strategy of using stainless fasteners where possible on the exterior, I decided to replace them.
Attachment 46016
I marked the position of the retainer with tape and carefully removed the screws, which were somewhat stuck.
Attachment 46017
The front header retainer is stainless, and it had rust stains from the carbon steel screws, so I wet sanded it with 600 grit paper and oxalic acid. Then I rinsed it with water.
Attachment 46018
Reinstalled and area cleaned.

On to painting the panels...
2691 is back on the road! I missed an entire summer of parades,
car shows and showing off. Pulled the engine last February and put
in DPI's long block with cams and headers. Amazingly it started right
up and idled perfectly with no hunting. It has more power than the
BAE turbo I took off. Highly recommend Josh's version of the PRV.
Already signed up for the last big car show in Bigfork, MT "rumble in
the bay" Josh also includes with his rebuilds a box of exquisitely
machined stainless bracketry to dress up your engine....road trip!
how do you remove the lower grilles from the louvers? are they stuck just with the sorrounding foam or something else?Quote:
