Nice fabricating as always on your switch. I did replace my stock original switch in 2015 bought the car in 1969. Still was good original switch & no problems with the repro so far. I hardly drive the car maybe 10 miles a year if that,LOLL! I will keep the original for sure .............. Thanks for the headsup!

I really like all the small projects. As always the attention to detail is spot on! I really like the chrome washer. The fit & finish is perfect 👍🏻

? Why did you NOT use a 60's (Chevy) ing switch? It fits the dash and uses the right lock cyl, plus has acc.

[@haffrods7055]

Because $15 and nuts on the back. Any other questions?

@@haffrods7055 It's your car, for me I like the look of the GM switch in my 57. Enjoy 🙂

Why not put a push button switch instead of the key , the hole point of that switch is that it has a lock, so it can’t be turned,that was the point of it being in the car in the first place, , if I had that car I would have a good security system in it so it couldn’t be stolen….

[@haffrods7055]

Push button is way too cheezy when I'm going for a stock looking dash.
