1968 Foglamp Housings
« on: June 02, 2021, 08:15:12 AM »
Restoring a set of fog lamps housings I believe to be original.  Car is a Feb 68 San Jose build.  Posting the pics for verification as the markings appear different than some others I've seen.  Appreciate any feedback on them.

 Also, looking for recommendations on how to fill the pitting on one of the housings.  I'm assuming a light coating of Bondo but haven't done much of this.

I use fine line tape to mask of any IDs -- yes, this is tricky -- and shoot the item with high build primer.

Use spot putty.

For the original fog light harnesses, I've seen the plugs either blue or dingy black. 

I always assumed the black ones were just dirty.  Is that correct, or were they painted black?

Yes they are blue. The marker lights are black plugs.
