Home made oil pan.

for the twin turbo 12v.

air bag front,

and rear suspension

and a handful of other things

Andy4639 · 07-27-2014, 09:33 AM

I can add some more here.
Under the hood cheap lighting almost any car has them. Mercury switch lights come on automatic when you open your hood.

Redid a SS Chevelle steering wheel and wrapped it in leather myself.

Added a late model truck mirror with compass and temperature reading.

OK, that looks awesome! What dash is that from?

**DreamRyder1963** · 07-27-2014, 09:57 AM

It looks like a dash out of a 59 Impala. By far one of the best dashes to ever come from the General.

**cliff67** · 07-27-2014, 12:49 PM

Yep it's a 59, Its been done before but I learned to drive in the driveway in my brothers impala ,So I want my last new car to have that same dash !! Funny what we do to retain those memories. Can't what to drive it

88fordf150 · 07-27-2014, 05:55 PM

Fenderwall headers make for a 55 Chevy. Custom headliner made from copy's of my autographed magazines. Stars and stripes tach. and gauges. Custom shift knob from grandpa bar.

88fordf150 · 07-27-2014, 05:57 PM

Powder Coated glove box door, wrinkle black & chrome.

88fordf150 · 07-27-2014, 05:58 PM

hayhauler71 · 07-27-2014, 09:43 PM

Custom wood bed with lights, tailgate, and color matching shift knob

Turbo1dr · 07-27-2014, 11:02 PM

Why doesn't anyone cut the dash for a 7" GPS/Radio/CD/DVD/Bluetooth/Telephone receiver? Is there not enough room behind it for one of those to fit? Just wondering why?

Nitis · 07-27-2014, 11:47 PM

For the navigation I could see depth being a possible issue or having to give up either your ashtray or ac vent or both

As for depth it wouldn't be hard to extend it outward really if that's what a guy wanted

jtp67-72 · 07-28-2014, 10:41 PM

55 Belair dash........coming soon.........jim

I'm lovin it......'splain the door handles...trying to figure those out .......jim

BossHogg69 · 07-30-2014, 07:15 PM

Kindig-it Designs. They are flush mounted in the door - you push in on the 'spoon' part, which pivots in the door and the 'lever/handle' part comes out and the door opens. They are pretty slick. I was gonna hold out on pics until I got it painted, but I went ahead and let the cat out of the bag.

Well, looking at your fab & welding skills you won't have ANY trouble making that happen!
