custom work

http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/achy_joints/lst?.dir=/car


Hey guys.

Check out some of the custom work my bro has been doing on his SS. He has created everything from scratch. Hes a CAD specialist and machinist. Theres custom tweeter pods with swivels for correct imaging. A custom center console that has been hogged out, wrapped with velvet liner and a light installed.
A rear center piece filled and painted black with retro SS emblems.
Billet pedals. A still in prototype gate shifter center console with cup holder filled and three toggle switch locations instead of lighter and the stupid little storage component. And a shot of the some of the system going in as well. Hes built speaker pods for the doors as well but they are not installed yet, I will post more custom stuff as he finishes.

wow thats some really impressive work

any chances that he would be interested in doing some work for a 3rd gen I would be interested in a different center console, i really like those pedals, and maybe some tweeter pods

i'm sure he could make some extra coin by doing a few of those and selling them on some sites or ebay

I will ask him for you. I am sure he will whip some pedals easy enough. Center console and pods will require you to take then out and give to me or him to work on. Also some of its alot of work so do it at a time when you dont need your car hint hint.

Custom Pedals???? Those look just like mine that I purchased from MBA Products in CT (www.mbaproducts.com). They are also a supporter here. The manager is also a great friend. He allows us to have our 2 events at this facility. The CTFBA (Connecticut F-body Association) So I have a hard time believing they are custom. As for everything else it looks good.

So after seeing those tweeter pods, you think the guy can't make some pedals?

Well hes right they make the same pair, my bro liked the design and used it for himself. they are a little different, he used a thicker aluminum. But he did not buy any of the things you see.

I NEVER said he didn't make them. They look the same as mine. Nothing is wrong with making something you like..even if it's something you have seen before. Copying is the highest form of flattery.

I also wasn't trying to stir up any bad feelings. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

There is none man no worries. He said they suck when your feet are wet so hes designing something else. the man is never satisfied. He got pretty close to the ones your talking about. Pretty neat stuff.
