Welcome to the Bolt.Nice project Judy53. Sounds like you got a good start on it. Lots of nice folks here and information.

I would not be afraid to put some stripper on the ash tray handle but I would not leave it in it for a long time. These knobs are also available from the vendors and not very expensive.I THINK yours is Maroon due to the Korean war and "bright" metal was not used....although chrome repops are available. I think you can strip it and then maybe have to polish it back out.


EDIT: I even LIGHTLY sand blasted one and was able to polish it back out but its best to keep it in as nice of shape as you can!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
