Featured Art & Inspiration USING THINGS NOT DESIGNED FOR HOT RODS & CUSTOMS

Used a chromed headlamp from a bicycle to insert the blower gauge. Made the bezel ring from aluminium and polished it. The gauge is filling the headlamp almost complete but I managed to put a little green LED in as well. The foto shows a lot of dust from last years tours - time for a clean-up.

 

Spotted at a show a couple years back.
64-65 Dodge short box. Real low. Had to cut a hole in box for rearend pumkin clearance.
Mounted a suit case to to cover the hole.
Had it painted up like an old pin stripers case.

 

Shifter cover made from a small cast aluminum cooking pot.
The switch box was originally used as an electronics enclosure.
I did repurpose a B&M auto shifter cover for an E-brake handle cover.

 

It’s the “ I don’t quite know what I’m looking for but I’ll know it when I see it.”

 

I made the fan shroud for my truck out of the drawer from the bottom of out of old stove, already had nice rounded
corners.

 

Been there. HRP

 

My first vehicle when I turned 16 in the 1970s was a 1955 Ford F100. My dad put a chrome 1956 F100 grill in it and he used pie plates behind the headlight buckets to gain enough room for the 1956 grill to fit.

 

Just got my Chrome box Flange for steering wheel lower cover from Ebay today.
Steering wheel tube is 1.5 polished stainless steel exhaust tubing from Ebay.
( thanks LG Speed and Custom) for the steering tube idea.
Still mocking up carpet size, thus the paper and tape.

 

Aaahhhh...... The same method we use to find a wife.

 

Pull knobs made from micrometer handles

 

To fill in the open space adjacent to the seats I got a couple of s**** fibergl*** panel cutoffs from a local shower mfg. sorry, not the best photo, it's the only one I could find.
