    Center Console Repair

    Francis- Thanks for the measurements. The chrome has been coming off in thick sheet (little piece at a time) like aluminum foil. Got it off most of the sides, but the middle raised area it's really stuck. I do a lot of models and soak pieces in Westley's Bleach-White to unchrome parts, but...

    Let the Spankings Begin!

    One of my fellow club members (Mustang Club of Houston) campaigns a 76 at a local track. He's always a top finisher. It's in a Car Club Bash between local clubs. http://www.lonestarraceway.com/html/car_club.html Gotta love him beating out Lightnings, F-Bodies, ricers, etc on a regular...
