YES!! Leave it. get a repro if you want one that looks new. My favorite shift knobs are the ones that look like they have been used for 40 some years. Otherwise rubbing compound as mentioned, but don't try and make it new, just clean it up a bit. :cheers

Lot's of talk on the HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=474585 ^

Bob, again too bad there's so much distance between. I just sold a really nice 1970 402 That I pulled last fall. You have to do this yourself. Look at all the other stuff you've accomplished. The body and paint work you taught yourself. It just wouldn't seem right if somebody else built your...

That is the way it is for me too. I knew I wasn't alone. I always have what ever I need for my 66 Chevelle. My family laughs at me, No matter what I can usually find a replacement part in my stash. :cheers ^

Phil, yes I do. I have one set. Look like NOS they are really nice. Know somebody who needs them? :cheers ^

Wow, I have saved too much stuff over the years. This is most of it (hubcaps/wheels), there is more. This doesn't include all my other types of parts. Do they make a pill for this? :? ^

Congrats!!, Just got my magazine out of the mailbox. Well deserved! :clap:clap:clap:clap :cheers ^

Send me some photos. (I am in commercial printing and design, I use photoshop daily). The pics above were about seven minutes of my time. ^

I vote black wall but it never hurts to get the full picture.

Dead On!!!! ^

Thanks, Good to know. :cheers ^

Would anybody here know if a factory 14 x 6 steel wheel from 59-61??? Chevrolet will clear the factory disc brake calipers on a 1968 Chevelle? I know somebody with a 68 Chevelle who could use a spare tire for his car. Will my wheel work on the 68 Chevelle? :? ^

I know this is not the same thing but this thread reminded me of this 59 Impala with a custom removable hardtop that I saw recently. This one is actually pretty cool, not hideous looking like the 61 mentioned above. Check this one out...

I like 60 pontiacs, and 4 door hardtops with the shelf roof. (edit) I should have read further. -Nice parts car! ^

Thanks, I kind of had a hunch that if I bought it wouldn't have been the right deal. Plus I didn't want to carry it to the truck. :cheers ^
