    I'll start:

    74 bus wheel from my first aborted rebuild with some cracks in the rubber. Ordered replacement from Crown. Today I'd have filled cracks with black rifle bedding epoxy and fixed it.

    Sheet metal half-top from same CJ5. Man, it was before the internet. Didnt know better. Cant say I'd want to use it myself. Side visibility was nil. But the windows rolled down and wasnt too rotten. My worst regret by far.

    Drivers side late 60's camaro (I think) seat that came in the SuperJeep. Tossed it, moved the matching passenger seat to drivers position. Still have that seat. Comfy. Reupholstered, it's a Big money part.

    The original tool indent body on my 2a. The original frame too. Pre internet days sucked. Sometimes wish I had kept the pinto buckets that were in it too.

    Throw away? What words are these?

    Lost or misplaced and yet to be found... Got lots of that stuff, somewhere around here.
