I picked up a different grill for my 69...nice and straight but it needs to be stripped/sanded/polished... and I am not sure what is the best way to start. ANyone here ever refinish one?

Get the book from Eastwoods on refinishing trim. I haven't tried it but the guys who have say they can't ever get rid of all the blackish stuff from buffing and it will have a blackish look in certtain light. I repaired a dented headlight door once and just used rattlecan clear coat over the buffed out repair but it turns kind of foggy when it dries.

You might check with BMP Design www.bmpd.com (I think) they are a BMW supplier, but did have a kit for the alum trim on BMW's that I've heard great things about.
