Re: Cig Lighter

I did. Also stripped the black overspray off of it so it looks fairly new. Lighter itself is out of a 50's model car I believe. I have the guages all over my kitchen table to clean everything. Thinking of trying to replace just the odometer numbers as all the guages are ok. Does anyone just sell the numbers? Also have to get some orange paint for the needles.
