Back in the 60's-70's, throw away the factory carb and air cleaner, smog pump, factory radio (and cut up the dash), factory wheel covers. Today, track them all down for big $$$ to restore one. *NM*

To clarify more about my not liking factory wheels, I should mention that the factory wheels that I'm referring to are the ones for just the last 10 to 20 years or so ago only. Before that time, they're fine. I especially like the 1960's thru 1980's. *NM*
- It's kinda funny.... I feel pretty much the opposite. I feel that the factory wheels of the last 15-20 are a huge improvement over the factory rally/sport wheels offered in the 60's/70's/80''s 90's.... But, as they say, different strokes 😉 *NM*
  - Seems like a lot of factory wheels these days are just black. Yuck. Or they have pinwheel/spiral designs with lots of machined sparkly areas to add bling. Not for me either. *NM*
    - I have a love/hate relationship with these. 2017 Accord Sport
      - I like 'em. Just be careful when parking at the curb (and watch for potholes!). *NM*
- Thats pretty funny. I love the factory wheels on my ‘14 F150. Every F150 FB page is full if guys showing off their new wheels, and none of them are sharper looking than mine. *NM*
  - A guy in my apartment complex years ago (he moved out in a year or so) replaced the fctory rims on his F-150 Lariat 4x4 with new rims, and he tossed the factory rims in the trash!
    - That's like a lot of the Harley guys. Replace the seat, handlebars, pipes, and gas tank, toss the originals (or sell cheap), then they're looking for those items ten years later *NM*
