It's where I work, Honda MFG, so I gotta have at least one.

The rest are GM, my daddy worked and retired from there. He actually worked at the parts plant that made the tailgate trim. I probably have one on my truck that he made!!

Definitely cool then! I understand driving the Honda. I've worked for a GM dealership for 17 years. A few years back I bought my 1st Ford and my wife a new Lexus. My company owns a ford franchise so that wasn't a big deal but I was kinda worried about the Lexus. Nothing ever came about it and 3 years later she's back in a GM product.

Too bad he didnt stash a truck load of those bands. You could retire now.

Tell me about it. But who would have ever guessed that those things would have been such a sought after part, after all these years!!

The knob on the left, is a match. They are most like the original knobs on the old radios. The pic just didn't show it very well. I like those too.

Here's a pic from the website for those knobs. I like these, since they resemble the knobs on the old radio.

Re: My 86 build

Had a little accident in the garage earlier this week. This about made me sick!! Well I guess since I haven't gotten my hood painted yet, I'll just have to have my guy that's doing my hood take care of this mishap too.

It's on the left front fender, a chip and deform!!!
