Just wanted to say I received my dome light covers in the mail today.

Man, these things are just BEAUTIFUL. Pure grade-A 100% awesome.

Well worth every penny.

Thanks!

Now not only do I have the bezel, but my door jam switches are replaced too. I had to replace the bulb, but couldn't read the number on the burned out bulb. I used one I had that fit, but I don't think it's the correct one. What are you all using?

That must be what the one I had was for. I guess I have the right one. Seems a little dimmer than the one I replaced.

Hi Rjewkes, what's the photo of the truck flying through the air in your signature all about? (The one that looks like it was dropped from a cargo plane over the desert.)

Just finished up another batch of 51 over last week. Found out today that I need a Miller 3035 spool gun ($600) to get the CD bezels started. I had hope to be able to use the $200 gun instead.

As an update, got the spoolgun for $300 delivered (thank you eBay). I have a bunch of bezels and ash tray pulls done. The fixture plate for the shifter bezels is done and I've been working on the program for the shifter bezels.

How about a turn signal lever? Maybe stainless?

I would, but I don't have the lathe set up yet.... Too many winter projects this early in the year.

It would be stainless. I picked up a 1941 Craftsman / AA 6"x12" lathe a couple weeks ago just for small projects like that.
