Supposedly a good application or two of Easy-Off oven cleaner removes the old clear coating.

Then you neutralize it ,
Prep-Sol
De-lint
Respray high end clear coat.

Or , wait on Randy Combs to do it professionally.

I would not lay a finger on an early bezel until I had experimented with another one of little value.

I have stacks and stacks of later bezels, so I could experiment on them. I wouldn't touch a 70 bezel myself unless I was extremely confident in my abilities restoring bezels, which right now I am not.

Speaking of other 70 specific items, I need to start thinking about sending the headlight bezels out to chrome. They're in ok shape, but certainly won't cut it on this car now. I might run reproduction pieces until I decide on a plate shop.

I'm also getting ready to order the exhaust. I'm going with Gardner, unless you guys have another recommendation?
