    Mine are junk, the chrome is falling off. I don't have any spares, sorry.

    My knobs for the A/C are missing. Taillights would look nice but I like LED's.

    Put in my vote for the climate control panel.

    Mavaholic, I too would like a copy of that article. Please email to: hrabak@blasterchemical.com. Thanks!

    Before I make the A/C controls and knobs, I need to consider what they would sell for, to make sure I can at least get my money back out of what the molds will cost me. What would be a fair price or what would you expect to pay for the A/C plastic panel and knobs.

    The 72 and up are different. I'll try to get a picture a little later. I sent my article to Earl and Townsman. Let me know if you got it. I'm still learning this Mac.

    Mavaholic, Message and file received. The mac is doing you well. Thanks!

    Brainsboy, I would think a package containing the panel, knobs and perhaps some new screws could fetch $50 - 100. I'm not as diehard as some here, but if it was the last item I needed to perfect my interior, I'd shell it out. I think you need to consider how many you can sell too. I need 2. Thanks for the consideration.

    All of the parts in question require chroming. The knobs are chromed with the 72/77 having silk screened lettering. The Heater Bezels are chromed around the lever openings. Is that something you could do as well?

    If you can make modern day OEM quality Chromed Plastic Boomerangs ... you'd make a furtune ... I would concentrate on them ...

    The J-shaped molding that sits behind the side flipper windows on 2-door cars. Everybody is always looking for them and they impossible to find in any decent shape. NOS pieces easily bring over $100 each ... The original were chromed pot metal but a high quality automotive quality plastic peice would easily suffice ..
