Why don't YOU walk? I'll walk! It's not a far walk, it's only 38 miles!

I don't really like the look of deck lid panels.

Some proper axle tube braces, a really good substitute for welding.

heh, I think once I make a few and they get out in the world people might start trying to find me. I guess I should put a label on them. Maybe laser scribe.

I think that looks pretty damn good! How about a Bullitt emblem without the key hole then? Wait! How a bout a flush cap to replace that wart on the trunk (antenna)?!?

A quality replacement for that plastic crappy cover around the auto shifter. You know, the thing that slides front and back with the shifter, no idea what it's called other than broken.

Flush cap is a great idea!

They already have custom fake fuel fillers. I'd need to license something bullitt specific.

I will have to find an automatic S197 or order an auto shifter on ebay to make the hot hole part.

Almost ready to ship these guys... 16 lb! Might make them a bit lighter.

Wheel spacers, 6061-T6, hubcentric, with the chamfered inboard edge for the hub, and only 5 precise, snug fitting lug holes. Offer em in 1-2-3-4-5.....20mm thickness. IE: 1mm increments. Build to order. The S197 uses 1/2" (12.7mm) lug holes. 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. 70.5 mm bore. The S550 uses 13mm holes. Everything out there has either 10 x lug holes, or is not hubcentric, or way over priced, or not chamfered, or oversized lug holes, slots used. Then make em for ricers, euro trash, and GM / Mopar. HR wants like $70 for a 3mm hubcentric spacer pair... which is beyond nuts. Offer en in singles, in case somebody trashes one.

For me to do this would be about $250 each
