My wife and I made these door panels completely from scratch. I don't have a pic of the matching quarter panels, but we made those too. The car sold last week so I won't be getting any new photos anytime soon. We used type 3 dash grab handles and some extra chrome running board moldings I had laying around to finish the job.

what did you use for the actually board? seems a lot cheaper then buying them!

This should be a good thread. Dangermouse, that switchbox is sick.
Some little crap I made.
The shifter, the e-brake handle out of an old metalflake schwinn grip, and the radio delete plate :lol: |

Just some random stuff from the back. Home made turbo system, put 1950 Pontiac tail lights on it, made the bumper holes and exhaust cut-outs disappear.

i have heard its the cheapest.. cause you dont need any blow, or pop off valves. but you also have to get carbon seals for the turbo, or a turbo that already has them. as long as your intake from carb to turbo is short and sweet, then it wont be as bad of an issue for fuel puddling.. but regardless some does puddle inside the turbo, and gets chopped up from the blades, which in some cases i have seen, makes the motor run like complete crap.
his setup looks clean though! besides the blower holes on the shroud :wink:
dangermouse.. can i steal that idea from ya? would be a good look for air bag switches, if i could fit original knobs over some toggle switches! |
