Butt wipe and Ketchup is a different story...
Inferior buttwipe = punchthrough.  :eek: :brickwall:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I just bought one of their consoles on e-bay they had listed as having a scratch on top where it couldn't be seen with the lid on it, $150. Still cann't find the scratch :scope:   :2thumbs:

I donated a Mint Console to Southwestern Reproductions. They are going to start reproducing these right here in the U.S. soon. Southwestern already makes a ton of Mopar Goodies right now that you are getting thru Vendors. Ask Troy, 80% of my inventory is from Southwestern.
They say 3 months on the New Consoles.

Any word on the price?

 They just said it would be less than others. Somewhere between $200-$240.
I was glad so I sent off a bunch of my 68 Chrome Console lids to be re-plated. Now I can have some complete consoles. I have a guy that makes those lids look like they came off a parts shelf in a Dodge Dealership in 68.

Are these repos made from potmetal like the originals? The only repos I've seen on ebay are fiberglass.  I guess they have them vacuum chrome plated. I don't see how it can match the rest of the console chrome.

They're just repopping the plastic part of the consoles...the lower half, not the lids.

How much does he charge to replate those?

I think you're talking about the console top plates from Stinger. Yes, those are fiberglass and would need to be painted or vacuum plated. L&P makes the plastic console body but none of the accessories.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Who does it and what does he charge? How do they repair the pits?
