while not exactly “ cool “ I used 2 marrette wire connectors as radio knobs in my 69 Lincoln. Car was missing one knob and these threaded in perfectly . Didn’t look to bad up against a black dash either .
The shift knob is a 34 Ford Expo knob that I smoothed the sides of (it was ribbed like a quarter) and had it hyrdo-dipped with the banjo wheel at Julianos. They clear coated the entire knob so the patina of the coin is protected.
Old Bakelite radio knobs come in a lot of shapes. you can make your own laminated plastic knobs easy enough. It used to be a standard shop project in high school. Pick your own colors and shape. cabinet knobs are made in lots of shapes. Too.
Wow, lots of imputs and cool ideas. Thanks you all. If you have more to suggest, do not hesitate Thanks again
