do the black buttons not interchange into the new handles ??

They do interchange, but I like the chrome better...  Like the incorrect recall wheels, they can be easily swapped out in the future if so desired...
I got you ,  :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:   make it your own   :icon_smile_big:  I totally agree with you on the RECALLS   :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5:

Also trying to decide what tire to use on the Recall Wheels.... Repro Kelsey Goodyear Redlines or Diamondback (BFG) Radial Redlines... Has anyone used the Diamondback modified BFG radials?  Opinions/Reasons?  :scratchchin:  :popcrn:
wayne has the diamond backs on his recalls and last i heard he liked them

I called them earlier today and found out that they can do the redline mod to BFG Drag Radials for $140 per tire plus the list price of the BFG DR...   :D

For a second there I saw the box and my first thought was wow he's got a NOS console for the 500.   :lol:

Who... ME?...  :shruggy:  :D

Ken is working on the doors today, and sent this picture... Here we go!  :drool5:  :woohoo:
Wait til ya see the end of the work week progress pictures. Unless i make a road trip Thursday or Friday to pick up more parts to keep me busy next week

My security cameras recorded two guys rummaging through my Dodge Mahal and the annex Hanger 71, observing them loading up and heading out-of-state...  Not to worry though, it was Ken and his friend Gary doing me a  huge favor by picking up needed C500 parts... many of them being difficult to ship.  THANKS KEN!  :cheers:

Also,, I have resumed ordering needed repro parts for Blue Thunder... a BE&A order was delivered to Ken's shop yesterday as well...  This one had Upper Door Pads (set of 4), Tail Light Lenses with Bezels, and Sill Plates...  As tight as my hobby finances are at the moment, look for "For Sale" ads in the near future to pay off credit card debt that I am running up...  :'(
