Thanks for all the replies, they are all very helpful.

Old Goat 67: Those look great, I was thinking the housings should be a kind of dull aluminum.

I took a some pictures today of mine. I used a flash when taking them. What do you think?

They are not "real bad" but I just wanted to clean them up and try to replicate the finish that was close to the original.

Tail lights are getting a bit dim and difficult to see especially in the bright sun. That's why I wanted to replace the chrome reflective inside the housings, of course things always snowball!

Yes this car needs work, tail panel, both trunk weather strip gutters and usual areas around the rear window all need replacing. I can't help it....I get a real blast driving this car!

Yes sir, I think just glass beading the outside would work fine for you.

The inside I do have an idea you may want to try.
When I was trying to redo mine, the "chrome" spray available left something to be desired, I tried them and wound up using gloss white which gave more light out back than the chrome stuff.

Since then, Greg Reid on this board used Spaz Stix to do the chrome highlights on the dash.

If I were to take mine out again, which I will sooner or later, I believe I'd try that to make them brighter.
