I agree. Those billet knobs make the Hvac look SO much better.

Glad you like them! 
The first set was a real PAIN to make on my small tabletop lathe, but they *could* be made pretty easily now that I have the design worked out.
I wouldn't do them with the lighted LED in the fan switch knob though. It's very difficult to modify the HVAC housing to wire it in.
First thing I would need to do is cost them out with a CNC machine shop.
Installing the push buttons also requires disassembling the entire HVAC head unit and removing the old buttons and replacing them with the billet ones.
A small hole for a set screw also needs to be drilled through the plastic behind the faceplate to secure the fan switch knob.
It's not difficult, just tedious.

Daum Randy, the new stuff looks great!
As for St Pete VS Daytona... I was under the assumption that we had this all worked out? Go to Daytona on Friday and stay the night. Do the show on Saturday and then leave for Tampa/St. Pete. after the show and go to the race on Sunday.------------------

I agree here. If you (both) didnt make it to Daytona I would be very 
I plan on coming up there Friday morning, so if you left Saturday night at least we could have one good night to catch up.

Several years ago I bought some electroplating equipment and never used it ... until now.
I polished and nickel plated the hood safety posts, hood latch and numerous nuts and bolts.
The plating is called "Copy Chrome" and although it's actually nickel, it's a "blue" nickel that approximates chrome very nicely.
Google "Caswell Plating" and look for their brush plating kits if you're interested...

After looking at this picture again I noticed that some RUST! was showing up in the grooves of the post and around the rim of the washer
I guess these parts will have to be dip plated rather than brush plated, because I can't seem to get the copper flash or the nickel down into those grooves.
They've been pulled out and new ones with fresh black paint put in for now...
Oh well....[This message has been edited by randye (edited 01-27-2010).]

The wife says she hates the idea of spending all weekend at another race track and she's campaigning to spend the whole weekend in Daytona.
(The Daytona show is AT THE RACE TRACK, so go figure...!!!)
I promised JimmyS over-crew credentials for the St Pete Grand Prix so he could get pit access during practice, qualifying and the race.
I don't like the idea of hauling all the way back to Tampa late on Saturday night, (I'd rather stay and party)
I'm going to have someone upset with me no matter what I do...[This message has been edited by randye (edited 01-27-2010).]
