  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I was thinking that too. I'll take some pictures today to send them (req'd per their contact form).

    I don't think they're "chrome" in the same way that decorative pieces are.

    I was thinking door lock knobs too.

    I've hoarded very nice/NOS escutcheons & radio knobs but no harm in including them in the request.

    I'll start a thread and see what kind of interest there is. I'd like to give them some idea on qty.

    I need a couple 68 dash bezels redone. I'll have to contact them directly.

    I'm creating a post to gauge some group purchase interest so we might as well include '68-9 bezels. If you happen to have a picture of one stripped (no gauges, etc) send it to me.
