That Silver Argent colour is close to Krylon Dull Silver. I think the OP was asking about spraying over the pitted surface. There are "chrome" paints out there, but they never look right. Yeah, reproductions would be cheaper than screwing around with those pieces.
Those 1970 Buick GS Stage 1 cars were one of the more potent cars on the street in their day. Despite their heavily under-rated 360 h.p., they were the equal or better than a 440 Six Pack, 429 Cobra Jet, or W30 442.
I once owned a 1970 Buick Wildcat, as our family car. The 455 that was in it was...
It might have been Golden Horseshoe in Toronto. This track was only in operation for a few years, right around 1970. I was there once with a friend that raced a 1969 428 Torino. John Petrie's 'Cuda is to the left. He was sponsored by Argyle Chrysler in Toronto. This track likely got swallowed up...
R/T has optional Sport wheel discs on it, mimicking mags. When I bought my R/T, it came with a full set of these. On one of the covers, a fake lug nut was twisted off. Also rear snow tires. Who drives their R/T in winter? LOL
I hate to admit it now, but I think I remember painting the rear axle in my 1969 SuperBee white. It must have been an area thing back then. Our town had a nearby drag strip. I don't know if there was some influence from that?
The 1969 Super Bee that I bought new did not have them. Might have been an option. I think they might have been standard equipment on a 1969 Coronet 500, as they were in 1967.
8 car bodies on the trailer. You would think it would have tandem axles under it for the weight. Flathead 6 pulling it all. Town and Country wood trimmed bodies from subsidiary that built them.
I kinda liked them. Hardly ever seen at today's car shows. That 428 was easily as strong as a 440, but rated the same as 383 RoadRunner; 335 horses. Likely Ford's best street motor.
