Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
The door handles come kind of as a kit. Got them from a builder in Utah called Kindig-it. The kit consists of the housing and the handle and I used bicycle cable and some custom bracketry and a to make it all work. Real slick design.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
I Used a conduit bender to bend some metal rod to the same curvature as the dash pieces I added and tacked those on in line with the humps and then rolled and formed a couple small sheet metal pieces to cover the gap it left and welded it all in.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build
Awesome ideas and implementation, you do good work....
Seeing the quality of work that you do I feel like a hacker! Heck and your just right down the road aways! What did you use for the third brake light? Last edited by lakeroadster; 10-20-2009 at 08:57 AM. |
