I've got a minty red one for a dirtbike im putting together so i thought id strip this one and put it on the challenger, it wouldnt match as it is but i could cover it with a stem pad....  :-\

Seems a bit of a shame to bung it in a bag of ovenpride...  :(

Mark, the trick is to strip it , polish it until the edges are rounded and you cant read the writing then post it in tech and restoration and say what a good job you have done and then watch the amount of replys you get ;D
