I am waiting for my letter of authorization right now.Thanks for the concern.

SPIKES to replace various nut sizes !

I've come to the conclusion that LHM may be anti-billet.I say this because with his post count you would think he read every post on the forums.However he has not commented on the 'Bobble Head Andy" idea,so I'm almost certain he saw the title and passed up this thread without looking.
Maybe we nee a IBHARY thread.
(Is Bobble Head Andy Ready Yet)
Maybe we could compare the post count to some of the other long ones such as IIOY.And LHM wont even know what we're refering to.

for you guys looking for shorter shift handles - you can go with the van's shift levers - they're shorter. I might be able to come up with a sample for reproduction. My buddies got one in his truck.

I could maybe have one done tomorrow when I will start posting pics in the for sale section.I will use the rear view mirror bracket and we will have it.how do I post video?
Lets keep this quiet

mekdad · 11-19-2008, 01:00 AM

Right now I have tail light bezels and a rear view mirror bracket done.Tomorrow I should be starting on the emblems.Keep an eye out in the for sale section for parts and pics.

That is a good idea I can see what I can do, some thing like that is going to cost a little more.

I am going to try to keep prices down as much as posable.I think most of the emblems are going to be around $35.00 for the pair with hardware and shipping.

Could you make some for my truck that just say POS?

manimal · 11-19-2008, 10:19 AM

How about power steering brackets for the 292 inline6 or evne AC compressor brackets for the same. Those are items that NOBODY makes, and billet ones to boot would be AWESOME!
Here are some more ideas...
inside dome light bezels
exterior cargo/third brake light bezels
E-brake release handles
ash tray doors

chevy72blu · 11-19-2008, 10:41 AM

Something I've frequently thought about making on my own is a stainless ash tray cover that served as a switch panel for 3/4 toggle switches. I think a lot of us with several accessories (electric fans, fuel pumps, etc) would buy one rather than finding inconspicuous places to hide switches.

big_al_71 · 11-19-2008, 01:36 PM

How about a center Cap this style?

mekdad · 11-19-2008, 02:29 PM

Check the for sale, these are there

The only problem I have with that,is they would be real expensive to produce very small numbers.I would need a BIG order of each size for those.It would be cool.

mekdad · 11-20-2008, 05:25 PM

In case you don't know I now have 8-327,8-350,8-383,8-5.3L,and 8-6.0L emblems in the for sale section.Coming soon will be 8-396,8-454,6-250,and 6-292.How many 6-4.3L guys or gals do we have out there?

manimal · 11-20-2008, 05:33 PM

I know it's an old thread - but do you have any more 8-383 badges?

Olden Days · 08-19-2009, 05:30 PM

Are you still cranking out billet stuff? I am changing to a different side mirror and thought a good way of disguising the old holes left behind besides just screwing the bolts back in, would be to have a triangle shaped billet base that screws to the mirror holes. The center where the mirror stem Would have been could be blank or have some script like 4X4 or a bowtie or something.
Something like this but without the mirror stem attached (of course).
Interested in making me set?
