The 1976 Vistalite project is done-thanks to the VDF members who provided guidance on how to do this-this was my first total take apart and put back together-every single piece was hand washed with Dawn, chrome was polished with Brasso, and each shell got the Dawn and Novus 3-2-1 treatment by hand and with buffing machine-time to go rock!!

Beautiful Vistalites in my favorite color (or rather non-color!). Great job.
Never owned a set, but if I did, they'd have to be clear. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Mike I had always wanted a Vistalite kit and was very patient looking for a clear one that had minimal scratching and zero cracks-when I finally found it I said I am going to make this look really good and that is why I took it totally apart......the method the VDF guys told me to get it to this clearly (no pun intended) worked......
