Details
I thought it would be a cool thread to have everyone post some detail shots of stuff.I'm talking neat little custom brackets,mounts and one off details.The kind of things that make a Street Rod stand out as a winner.
Post up what you got, of anything along these lines,if I decide to steal an idea I will work out adapting it to a truck.

Re: Details
I guess I will start with two that my friend did when building my truck
firts pict A/C lines thru the vent panel cut thru. Second power steering lined thru the frame, I dont know if they are considered custom but I have not seen any other truck have them done like this..

Re: Details
Just what I was talking about.I assume the A/C lines were done that way so they could be routed hidden as much as possible.

Here's a hood latch pin done in stainless steel, that I saw on a GMC at a show in Little Rock. It caught my eye, whether anyone else saw it or not.

Re: Details
Here's my billet aluminum knobs that I made to the specs of a factory knobs. The last pics are a Cheyenne Super dash bezel that sprayed with bedliner paint to match the dash cluster bezel. It matches the grain of cluster almost perfectly. I added a 67 dash emblem that I painted black, and highlighted the featurs and letters with a silver leaf pen. I have added a new cluster bezel and gauges since these pics were taken. I need to update pics! It is a unique, while still stockish appearing dash.

I'll probably end up using that same idea. Where did you get that filler from?
