Grill Resto

Post by JohnS »

Does anyone know of a company that can refinish/restore aluminum parts, specifically a Grill for a 1697 Ranger? Years ago I had found a place out in California that would do work like that. But I cannot seem to find the information I had on them or find them online. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank you,

John

I posted this a few days ago, you can do this at home.

gomez paint and body here in longview told me he could make my grill look like new. i did not believe him but here are the results, he started with 180 gritt sand paper then 400 then 600 then 1500 and then 2000
all hand sanded, then he used polish to finish it off. i its hard to take grill pics, but here are a few. note headlight benzels are reproduction dennis carpenter, grill matches perfect.

I saw your post after I had submitted this one. I might have to look those guys up. Can they do minor repairs as well, I.E. small dent repair?

Thanks again,

John
