Anyone ever think of making a billet trunk hinge?

I would have to disagee, I think there would be a market, granted not like the hood hinges, but as you stated the hood is opened more often at shows and what not, but I think there would be a lot of people that would like to see a high quality piece.

We kind of agree........I am not saying you can't sell them. I just wouldn't base my business on it. It makes perfect sense to have matching ones like Fesler is proposing.

Yep, just one more thing to buy for the car.

I like the idea...

Hey Chris, can you make some billet side mirrors? Now that's something I would like...

I like the idea also. I would like to see someone make some billet sill plates in different varieties.

ok now that we are on the subject why dont you guys all tell me what you are looking for and I can see if its possible to start making them if we are not already doing so. I have about 20 more things on top of the hinges I would like to make and mirrors and sill plates are on the list

Sill plates for A-Body GM

Olds hood hinges (the Chevelle ones mount differently, though it looks like the holes are there on my fenders... I'll have to find some to compare)

I have a stock console in my 69 and would like to see a nice billet shifter base plate also. Plus can anyone come up with a nice looking upper and lower hood latch assembly? I will try and think some more.

Already in the works should be out in a few weeks

The trunk hinges should be done soon, we are doing the testing now and will post pics of them very soon. I am also working on the sill plates if you are interested and will post shots of those as well.

not sure what design to go with on the sill plates any ideas would be great to see what you guys might like.
