Default Extra Intake Distributor & Spider Legs - What to do with them?

Was going through the box of goodies that the PO provided me with my '82, and found an intake distributor and 8 spider legs in it.

The ones installed are already powdercoated and look good, so I'm not seeing any reason to replace them out.

I was thinking about polishing them up for future use, but not sure if I'll ever use them. Is there any sort of market for them? Is there any value in doing so (e.g. selling them or holding them for future use).

Someone may want it to have polished or coated and not have their car laid up. They don't wear or break down. It's for an '82 L-jet?

The flanges can be cut off and used for making of ITB runners.

This forum never ceases to amaze me. I figured the thread would be done with James' comment, but then all these other ideas come up.

Yes. For an '82 LJet.

I'm going to work on polishing them up and see about making some wall art (love the idea). RFJ - if I decide to throw in the towel, they are yours.

Thanks, folks!
