Fabrication Thread: What have you made?

-
Hey, Donnie very cool stuff I'm willing to bet if you fabed the steering collar alot of guy's would buy them, cuz when you switch over to the floor shift you need the smooth collar. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think 67-69 A is the same as 67-69 B body. Also the gas cap adapter works great I have it on my '69 Valiant and it's perfect!

I started down that road. Its pretty expensive, but I may pick it back up. I may have a better solution soon regarding the manufacturing. If I do make em' this will be the place they make their debut! LOL

I have a thread regarding the evolution of that part. I found out that the manual steering columns are kinda hard to find, not to mention its a PITA to change the entire column. I have designed this so you can fit the plugs through it. You dont need to remove the column in order to install it and it uses all the factory switches, bearings, etc.

I may have to drag it outta the dirt..
 
Rallye instrument panel that accepts a D.I.N. head unit. The support plate may not look like much but it is/was the most difficult piece I've designed and fabricated so far.
Using fiber optics to backlight the legends on these bezels is running a close 2nd.

O.K so the flip top adaptor creates an air tight seal at the gas cap is how I see it. So the tank would then need venting,if not already done.

Most of that has been covered in the original thread. Please see the thread specific to the adapter. (link in my signature)

Lets try to keep this thread to the Fabrication. ;-)

Back in 1997 I designed this work station called the KillerKart and had them made here in the U.S.A. The Inflite' killerKart, so versatile it can be put to work in 30 seconds from storage form and put in the trunk of your car and virtually lay flat. I sold many KillerKarts to mechanics, pinstripers and other artists..

This is one of the many I designed over the years there.
