Title: Stone Guard Waves - leave or fill?
Post by: Tiggie on July 16, 2018, 03:12:55 PM

For my May 68 Dearborn Car...

Would it be appropriate to leave the waves in the stone guard, pictured? Or would it have originally been finished better, aka I need to do some filler work?

I think this is a service replacement part as it had a c7zz in yellow paint on the back, and a “A 71” stamped in the top.

Those look like tooling marks. if they arn't too deep, I would fill them. Maybe "spot putty" would work?

Thanks for your input. Yes I’d say they are from getting stamped out on the tooling as well.  If this is a later service replacement, my thoughts are that maybe the tooling was worn by this point.

Do original cars have the waviness?

I know it’s barely visible but I’d like to replicate as close to correct as possible.
