want to be a bit different but still look close to stock

going to resin them first and then tone them down to almost tail light intensity (maybe a tiny bit less) to match the LED rears I've done with your help! 6 years and they still look good on the wife's car. mine gets the back burner since I'm making fresh plastic parts for my convertible and...

hehehe, wish they were. I need something like that when I take it out to the cruises, (actually still waiting on my bumper sto come on from tri city plating.

been slowly getting well enough t get back onto my daily driver that's not finished and decided I"d like to add some Taillight "bling" to that huge piece of aluminum. I originally was going to just paint the red strips going across it....... then though hmm how about LEDS? so far so good, but I...

my boss and I used to put the ABS caps on older porches. now we just send them to just dashes and let them redo it. even the better ABS ones warp in Florida sunlight after a year or so if not correctly installed and then even the ones correctly installed will warp within 3 years. It one of the...

umm some do, this one is cut up for duals but it uses a bucket or choke well.

outers are sill plates for the early Gen cars the inners are carpet hold down trim or inner scuff plate molding. I could care less what others call them since they aren't correct for the early applications later applications incorporated the inner hold down and the outer sill plate into one...

they aren't sill plates for sure , they are called carpet hold down molding or trim. They hide the wires and hold the carpeting in place. While these are called Sill plates, Scuff plate or threshold plates. I make replacement sill plates (custom or the boring stock shaped ones) and may be...

I had a customer make a longer outer sweep for his 66 dart from a 70 challenger set. then he complained that it was scratching his SS divider post (I told him it would eventually rub scratches in it if he used it a lot.) I had to take the longer one off and replace it with the original one I was...

I use it to strip anodizing off of aluminum trim, dash bezels and pretty much any chrome plates plastics. 30 years and haven't cooked a part yet, :thumbsup:

I work at a trim shop doing custom leather interiors for slab sided lincolns (nope not a sewer) it takes a special kind of seamstress /seamster to do a good job on the seats. #1- you have to be semi familiar with the seats setup. #2- sew a straight line for over 9 inches guide free and fast (90%...

Hold back on your carpet and just order from ACC. they are pretty much the only player left that makes a "close to almost fitting carpet set. (specially for Loop style carpet. on earlier A's) same with the floor mats, if you want carpeted with logo's. it's where legendary gets the floor mats...

2 years waiting for my 70 challenger, then I got a part time job at a trim shop and made mine for the wife's 66 dart. (8 weeks total for this rookie to sew then up)

IF you are looking for a direct match for 60 year old windlace , unless you get it from SMS and make your own it just WON'T happen. they don't make the colors to match anymore. it's all about what you can find that's closest. I work in a leather custom trim shop and have to hand make windlace...

I did mention custom engraving didn't I? This is the latest one and it looks AWESOME since it totally different than just Dodge,Valiant or Barracuda.

Just did a custom set for a customer. they came out great. I'll ask him if I can post pictures.

$99.00 plus shipping and handling usually done in a week (just a few bucks more than original skinny lined ones, and yeah I can do those too) Got a few sets working right now but I can custom bend form and engrave outer scuff/sill plates for the early A's 63-66 Darts. Valiants and 64-66 (long...

just get a electronic turn signal flasher . one that doesn't require a "load " on it to work.

Good Deal getting it together and working. just be thankful you don't have the rear quarter windows to do. they are Bassackwards mounting and a total pain in the behind to align, Now I know why early A's didn't get power windows (but I still am doing it on the other convertible anyways:D) and...

1996 sebring seats (front and back in my convertible) using the corvair kid wiring diagram so they DO work like they should. and they ARE comfortable compared to stock seat plus the power adjustable seats as great for my old bones.

none of my GT's have the script, but my non GT does I think it's a trim level thing

yes that's where it crosses over. sometime you have to do a bit more to get a clean transition and look when the top is up. each top and car are a bit different in measurements.

mine was uncut in this section and I had to make that cut upwards to the quarter panel (green line) mine was long and I had to trim it to fit like that picture (and a tiny bit more after I stretched the top and sail panels into place .)

as you can see in the red and cream colored car there are 2 styles of cut transitions AND some are sewn in the split area to actually transition over the lip and others are just cut(90% of them), pull the side panel down and make sure you to NOT cut past the pull down area and tack strip(you...

different top makers do it a few different ways but that flap you see in the red car witht he white top goes inside to the well liner that way water infiltration will be drained onto the well and onto the ground from the drain ubes It help when teh top is being folded down too since the most...

that's some DAmn fine work!

I may CHEAT big time and make them a tiny bit bigger and then Glue/ add in some 0.030 internal sidewall stiffeners I just can't stand it being that thin. I'd at least like to make my part a bit better than originals even if they are not as crisp I want them to last.

Not as crisp as I'd like and a little too thin on the sides but Closer and closer do I creep!:elmer:Now I have to learn how to cut straight ,,,hmmm that's going to be harder then making the darned part!

Super nice job. I'd like to test out /use your 2 part idea. for one of my test mules that I use for parts.

the start looks good, but it is a difficult part to make and don't forget the "wings" that fit on the sides.
