Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2022 Real nice subtle/classic looking glass rod just out of the shop and headed to its new owner this weekend. Dark green wraps with gold trim give it a great look on the green blank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2022 There's a difference between "Vintage" and "old school style". Vintage is period correct parts like the stamped aluminum seat above, varnish for wraps, standard cork, silk thread etc etc. Old school style is just the toned down style in flat or earth tone color pallets, no flashy parts like CF seat or anything like that. I don't know if you can still buy those old pinned on hood seats like that new, but you can always find them real cheap on ebay. Usually you can get them 3/$10...or at least you use to few years back, I haven't checked lately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
