Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Ok I totally showed your heater knobs to the wife because she could not understand some of the words I was using and the attitude....
She thinks it is awesome. I think you are just showing off now !!! On the other hand, man that really is cool work, and like Dino said, a full matching set of accessories would be pretty amazing! Let me know when you get your Gold Account so I can put my order in !!

Those words coming from a master of it??? Am I missing something here? So, I'm guessing that you post pics purely for educational purposes! ha-Ha-Ha!... Well, so do I! Problem is, this stuff turned out so good, that every passer-by is gonna think that I bought it. I just thought to my self that if I am gonna waste 8-plus hours doing something crazy-stupid, it might just as well be this!!! Keeps me from sitting in front of a TV!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
There is potentially a large market for those knobs, most people don't like the plastic ones and billet is a big seller. Just a thought...Vernski

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
I decided to restore my cowl-vents this week. They were looking pretty shabby to say the least! I had ordered new gaskets a while back, and I thought that now was as good of a time as any to rebuild them.
I thought that I could just drill out the rivets that held the two halves of the vent door together, slip in the new gasket, and pop-rivet them back together...It wasn't until I had sandblasted the heck out of them, that I noticed that they also had six spot-welds holding them together....Change of plans!!! I then decided that I would simply trim the old gaskets off, then use contact cement to adhere the new gaskets to the back side of the vent doors...Maybe this is how everyone repairs these, I don't know. I think they turned out pretty nice! Take a look! First the before pics!
