Thanks!
I am wondering now if the pits aren't porosity but rather spots getting pulled out because of the heat generated when polishing. Since they don't seem to respond when you have them on the wheel, the feeling is to press the piece harder into it and of course that generates more heat then when polishing other trim pieces that do respond normally. I don't know though, this was just a thought.
Interesting to see this car come up on BaT this week that shows the restorer couldn't polish out the w/s post stainless trim either. Look at photo # 31 & 36

While looking around the web, I came across this thread from the Chevelle (yuk) site, and it is discussed that the speakers were mounted "inside" the liner so they can be heard with the top up ... REALLY? With the boot stuffed down there they must be muffled, but the functionality would definitely be better inside the liner.
Just an interesting thought for discussion.

Thanks.
I had seen that thread before. They are talking about putting speakers on the inside of the side panels facing out not in the factory locations. If you look again, you can see the perforations on the side panel that allow sound to pass through.
He said that they are 5 1/4" speakers. Without being enclosed from behind, I wouldn't expect it would sound great but the highs should get through.
With the 3-way 6X9 speakers I have mounted in the factory holes I know I'm going to lose the highs but the lower frequencies should be OK. With the top down, I'm not sure I care much how the music sounds.
