Hi, I want to change the plastic clock face and re paint the bezels (frost)

How do you take it apart?

Thanks

Plastic?

You're talking about the clear lens, right?

Bangkok Dean

yes, it is clear plastic.

You should consider some polish for that clock face if its lightly scratched and avoid taking that rare, one-year-only clock apart. Rebuilt 63 clocks are in the $650-$800 range in the US if that tells you anything. You can tape off the clock lens and chrome edge trim and then repaint the frosted part. All without disassembling anything...

Does anyone else's 63 have a plastic clock lens?

Frankie the Fink

Never messed with mine...so can't say. For some reason I thought it was plastic...
So, are they glass ?

C2's I have personal knowledge of were glass and very breakable.

Frankie the Fink

Even more of a reason not to take the clock apart...

I researched several vendors and articles and I can't find any mention of what they are made of.

While searching I came upon this article on how to do just what you want to do. Just scroll on down past the quartz replacement instructions if that's not in the plan. Hope it helps.

My cluster and clock all had plastic lenses. Polished the light scratches
out with toothpaste. I think in 64 they went to glass.
