Anybody make or have custom aluminum door sills?

 

really?damn. sorry guys here they are on photobucket now

 

Don't really consider them a mod but I painted the tail light trim gray and blacked out my taillights.


Then a painted the piece of plastic the covers the gauges a dark red similar to the Dark Carmine Red interior I have.

Don't really want to cut up my car right now as I am not skilled enough in fabrication. I would love to put in a set of the 2nd gen camaro fender vents.

 

i started on my upper rad support. im tucking my radiator about 6" towards the nose. all thats left to do is weld it all together.

 

So how do I get ahold of some of these emblems?

 

heres how the car is now. theres no motor or transmission so the cars sitting high.

 

so i got my ashtray courtesy light to work by putting a new led into it and came up with the idea to add one of those lights to make it light up my Z28 badge. my camera doesnt really take a good night shot.

heres how i mounted it.


heres how it lights up.

dude that is bad thinkin bout doin the same on my 5 speed how did you wire it up and everything?

 

How about a 521cuin big block ford! 2" primary, 3.5" collector full length headers wrapped with DEI titanium wrap, true dual 3" exhaust with xpipe and turndowns, C6 3 speed trans, ford 8.8 rear end with custom adjustable shorty tq arm. thru floor and perimeter SFC, 8pt roll bar, aluminum door panels, 5" sterwart warner speedo/tach. I moved a 19x31" summit racing rad 3" to the passenger side to clear the steering box for the ford setup. Braced stock front Aarms, panhard bar support. Real bixenon HIDs with 55w ballasts and projector foglights all in a pop up delete lexan headlight cover

Dont mind the edelbrock air clearner... just there to keep stuff outa the carb. The engine was set back 1.5" with custom motor mounts i made ( i had it back 4" but it was too high)

shows the tq arm i made compared to the jegster shorty non adjustable.

pic of the ford 8.8 with 4 adjustment holes on both the LCAs, and panhard bar for setting the car up for any kind of driving.

i got alot of pics of all the stuff i done so if anyone requests anything ill post it. The 521 BBF should be in the car within a week or so, so ill post pics of it in then!

 

heres a better pic of the headers... they are mild steel 16gauge. with Headman Sbends welded to the collector, they connect to the 3" xpipe VIA stainless Vband flanges, each side has SS bungs for widebands.

 

Thanks. Here's a pic of the plate and switches:



It's all custom made, including a programmed microcontroller. Some day when I get the chance I'd like to make a parts list and full write up.

 

my father and i did alot of "custom" work to my engine bay, every unused hole was shaved, radiator support shaved and beveled, alot of shaving done to the firewall as well. larger and more detailed pics can be seen here:

Just made a gauge cluster panel for my new gauges the other night. It was wrapped in real black suede. New Vintage gauges.

 

custom wiper reservoir, still missing the cap (it's somewhere in transit)

 

By far one of the best gauge setups I've seen for a Camaro in a while.

 

Really nice cluster, I would switch the speedometer with rpm, but thats my personal opinion.

 

Thanks you guys..
Yea I guess its a matter of preference but I like the speedo on the right side..
Finally got them in the car.. working on the rest of the interior that will be done in black suede and orange stitching. I'll post up some pics when I finish

I don't know if this counts as custom, but it's better then stock. I'll get more pictures after I put it in.

 

 

Now that I like, 10.000x better than the a$s ugly late dash

 

 

 

im a huge fan of the wide body kit. if i had the money, i would do it. but instead, ill make my own

 

I think I pain about $1100 for the full kit, but i'm more engine work then body work so I had some help.

 

I've done a few things to my car. Ok, basically everything was fabricated in some way to fit and work.

Here is my guage cluster I made. The guages are all Auto Meter electric Pro Comp guages.




Here is a custom breather setup I made. When I finally got fabricated valve covers I didnt want breathers. I think they are ugly. So I made this. I have a billet aluminum PCV valve on the drivers side, and then used a turbo drain flange to make a breather on the passenger side. Once the air filter is on, you really cant see any of it.



My T56 swap and exhaust involved the most fabrication. My trans is out of a 03 Cobra and this made some things a little more difficult. I had to make the trans crossmember, the torque arm setup, and the exhaust. The torque arm was my old Spohn one, but I had to modify it a lot to get it to work.

Making the trans crossmember.



This was tough to do. Cutting it was easy, talking myself into cutting it was hard.


Using solid 1" bar to join it back together.






Completed torque arm mount, and then everything completed.





Soon I'm going to be making a custom center console completely from scratch. I want a cup holder, so I'm designing the console around it. I also have a switch panel I want to put in and need a little bit more room so I'll be making it around that as well.

I'm also going to be finishing the exhaust. I'll be running it over the axle and moving the mufflers after the axle. The one muffler is crooked because I knew I was going to be moving them so I didnt want to have the pipe coming out of the X in a position where it wasnt straight. So I made the pipe straight out of the X then put the muffler where ever it would fit. I'm also going to be changing the mufflers to straight thru Magnaflow's.

 

I hope your not referring to my gauge panel.

 

Huh?

 

he complimented it...

 

What wheels are those?

 

I don't understand why its so hard for people to interpret what other people mean when they say things on this board.

 

93-94 firehawk rims

 

Ok I know these mod are not that major but its something...

For the convertible guys you know we don't have a "dome" light just that crapy rear view mirror light so I used a flex LED strip under the dash (in the channel)

I was bored so I used VHT nightshade to "tint" the emblems on my cluster lens

I just HATED leaving my ashtray door open to charge my phone. I have power mirrors so I used non power mirror trim piece and inserted a lighter socket in the hole and when I'm not charging I use a lighter from a Catera (looks like a tweeter)

 

does painting it myself and cutting a hole in the hood for my carb scoop count as a custom mod? I'm almost done, just have to finish hooking everything up and finish the interior and I'll be ready for summer.

 

Morgan that cigarette lighter idea is absolutely awesome.

 

Thanks, as my ex would say I have WAY to much time on my hands

 

Here's one custom thing I am working on:

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/fabr...-brackets.html

 

red accents inside cluster and shift plate

one piece headlight

totally forgot to take the pic of my corvette seats. but you can kinda see them in this pic. just the headrest at least lol

 

Boring now,all good stuff but l was hoping to see some idea's,not an advert for some guys work.

 

Heh??

 

I'm gonna do this once i fit my headers but, has anyone had a side exit exhaust, like right before the rear wheels, maybe cutting out the gfects a little

 

Just today I removed the light diffusers and resurfaced the lens by wet sanding with 2000 grit and turtle wax. Epoxy welded them back together after cleaning the chrome plating on the inside and it makes the blue bulbs Ive been using look better! (they glow bluish-white when lit, not blue like police flasher blue) The old crappy housing is there to remind you what the original looks like with the diffuser, after years and years on the road without a resurfacing

 

started on the trunk/fuel cell install. heres some pics. 3 hrs into the build.

 

that camaro in the background yours too?

 

Haha the sun finally set, here are what my "refurbished" turn signals look like at night, with the blue bulbs:

Still street legal because they dont put off a blue light

 

yeah, the one in the background is my winter beater. and the black one is my summer beater. the other 2 you cant see

 

aww come on post pics, i love camaros, although i have a firebird weird, but you know what they say on the internet "pics or it didnt happen"

 

building an inverted cowl hood.

 

just look at my albums lol.
