IDEAS

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

I can see it now that people are going to think we are trying to steel parts from others and by no way do we want to do that. I have a total of over 100 products I will make for the cars I build so the info up here is good to see what you guys like and dont like. If you have something you want to see made PM me and I can let you know if its in the works or how far out we are. Thanks

I think this is a great idea and some overlap with other vendors is not always a bad thing - it give us more choices in style, price, etc....

Thanks Chris, if you ever need a product test I volunteer (ha ha).

I Think we go thought this a lot more (builders) because we try to put out cool stuff and there's always someone that did it first or you copy me BLA BLA BLA
There's only so many ways some things can be made or built without looking the same so put your own style to it and hope they like yours more then theres

You guys build some cool stuff..Keep the products coming..

There's a lot of people that can't make or get these parts made.

I like the idea of trunk hinges with a hydraulic shock. I've banged my head a few times when the lid comes down due to the weight of the spoiler. Probably would powder coat black but anodizing would be a great option. I like these parts since I can't afford all the body work/paint now

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.

Chris...my car is almost finished and I would love to have a set of billett trunk hinges. In discussing it with my builder and interior shop the factories were a diappoinment as we all know they do not like to stay up. As far as sills I bought a set of billet from Pete's fabrication and they are very nice. However, I would like to see yours and would possibly change them if yours look better. I personally would like to see something smooth and clean without the lines and bow tie emblem.
