- do you have one of those cute aftermarket wood or leather wrapped knobs or the original knob. I just switched the knob on the 68 back to the original last week and found that now my knuckles don't hi

- Ever think about keeping your Bugeye key... along with "the club" key... on a separate key ring? The (excessive) weight of keys is the number one reason ignition switches require replacement! WFO He

- I have cut gearshifts down before using a, ahem, faster method. If the gearshift has a boot when installed, I just take out a section of the middle and weld the ends together. Do it all underneath th
