Again Welcome Jim Gordon Yeah got the trim off to polish, tim gave me some pointers and what to do! I will tell you this, if I had to do it over I would rather pay Tim to do this work. I removed the paint and clear from the trim which was a massive pain in the ass, even with the aircaft stripper it didnt want ot come off, took there coats And i'm still not done Jay is correct on the wheels | |

| Nice car! Will look good with the polished trim.
Quick tip, take some SOS pads to the exhaust tips and then if you want to go further a little Mother's metal polish. You'll be amazed how they shine up.
Please keep the pics and updates coming!

| Welcome aboard. Nice looking 94 AGW (avg gold woody). It being a '94 make sure to check the aux post up by the firewall to make sure it's brass and not that crappy silver steel or whatever fire causing alloy it was.
There was a tech service bulliten out on 94s about it and you want to swap it out for a brass one. My 94 Chevy's box was half melted when I got her. You can find donar aux bat post on any 95-96 B-body. search on ISSF for a thread I know there is one over there. | |

Had a look and I have the silver metal coming out of the fuse box I went to the parts store and they could not find a replacement where did you get yours? Thanks Will | |
