It looks pretty nice. I doubt I'll ever find a 4spd top plate nice enough to match it.

[terrible one]

That's one of the nicest I've seen.

[Silver R/T]

looks decent

Nice find! Still has the polishing buffing lines in the center!

Sorry to drive the price up, you outbid me...The 4 speed top plate is available brand new. $425.00 on ebag now...

Ouch! High price but that's the first I've heard of anyone reproducing these parts, so that's good news. Maybe I'll be the first on the site to step up to the "plate" and buy one. See if they're worth the asking price.

Bull, do you plan to go to the HURST shifter for performance? (for lack of better term)... 

Premier Plastics talked about making the pot-metal pieces for the console top.  He tried to convince me on plastic, but I told him that would be a NO-GO (Like Charger Specialties Plastic '69 Grille trim)...  He has an objective of making reasonably priced parts...  He dropped the Cuda grilles to 499 each when I was selling them for 700-800...

THEY ARE REPRODUCING LOTS OF GOODIES... look at 3rd gen mirrors... wow !!!, also speaker/deffog adaptor...

I'm going to stick with the Inland initially. I know they are not real well liked but I like the originality of it, especially now that they're getting harder to find. I agree on the repop stuff. If the factory made it out of metal the repop should be metal too.

[AKcharger]

WOW I would have bet any amount of money that they would NEVER reproduce those tops due to the cost and low production numbers...that's a good sign!

I made my own since I never thoght new ones possible

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Almost looks like it was spray bombed with chrome paint

I hope not for $178 beans

I guess I'll find out soon enough. It comes from Kreative Customs. Ever heard of them?

[69charger2002]

i know them very well. awesome stand up guy. i thin khe has parts like that rechromed and they come out show quality. i think that is a good deal for 168

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

even though its correct, i still dont like the silver paint on the sides of the console top, i prefer seeing it black even though it is incorrect as that silver just makes it 2 much silver-MATT

[8WHEELER]

I like the silver better, with a black interior the silver looks GREAT.... but there is no Silver on the lid. So he
at least buffed or cleaned up the chrome, and its very hard to buff old chrome and not make it worse, so
he polished it some how. It does look very nice for sure, the pits in it are very small compared to most
all the others we see. To bad you will have to paint that chrome area he made all nice the silver color.
I hope the lid is not bent like most seem to be, and all studs are there, he does not say anything about that.

He told me he sends all his stuff out to be polished such as this piece was. As you said the pits are very minimal and that's always a good thing. Now I have to figure out the right kind of silver paint to use.

[8WHEELER]

I know its not correct, but I have used an argent silver then a clear coat, so I don't have to
do it again in a year, it does not take much to mess up the silver, thats why I use a clear coat as well
but thats just me, everybody does it different it seems.

[Rack]

That's a pretty penny for that piece. And, of course, my car didn't come with it.


Since I'm gonna mod my car anyway (no possible way to make a correct matching #'s car for me) I'll probably make my own. Try and be creative and come up with some kind of design.


I'm a long way from getting to that though.

I have heard of him, bought some small stuff from him, nice guy.
I think he is a member here, though he doesn't go by kreative customs
