do you have a build up on those door handles? they are sweet!!! Did you buy a kit or did you make them yourself?

Aviat0r · 10-14-2009, 06:58 PM

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.

Aviat0r · 10-14-2009, 07:00 PM

Todays project was putting in a 3rd brake light.

protrash64 · 10-14-2009, 07:47 PM

Nice work! I thought those door handles were drawn on the side until I watched your video!!

How did you fab the part of the dash humps go down?

Aviat0r · 10-15-2009, 10:31 PM

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.

oregondunerz · 10-16-2009, 12:00 PM
