Those door panels are sick and would probably sell like hotcakes.

All new SpeedHut gauges installed.

Here's a few of mine:

Pic #1 is my design door panel and homemade power window switch bezel

Pic#2 is my homemade polished stainless wheeltubs. That is a weld that was ground and polished on the 90 degree return

Pic #3 is my firewall wiring cover made out of a chunk of billet

Does this count. I matched the cooler to my truck!
Got the cooler all done. It turned out great I think!

Man I like that truck! That is asume. Great job on the mods.

I have to ask though.
Why have a battery cut off in the bumper where everyone see's it?

Is it for racing purposes?
;)

yeah, my understanding of the rules is if you have a relocated battery, you have to have a battery cut off switch at the rear of the vehicle.

Seems kinda silly to me, but thats the rule.

Man I wish my buddy had one of those! I'd be killing his power at every stop light. lol I just put one on the back of my Camaro. If you are upside down at the end of the track and about to catch on fire, it's nice when someone else can turn the ignition off. You combine that with a Ford remote solenoid and all of the power stays to the back of the car. Nice if you hit the wall, bend your frame and get into that massive starter cable.

Thanks Cheby. I had considered putting together a kit, but didn't think there would be enough interest due to the cost of everything (LCD, head unit, ...)

I put together a how to a few years back for those interested:

You'd be surprised what people like 67cheby (aka Mike) will spend on their trucks. :)

k2rm 08-31-2011 12:49 PM

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 
Oh no, I wouldn't be surprised at all. :) There are a lot of trucks turned into rolling and loud artwork on this board. This thread alone is a great demonstration of that fact.

my mods aren't that impressive...

custom gauges.

hydraulic clutch (that's about to get redone... it has way too much adjustment and too much effort)

and some heavy duty parts

OH.... and a 3/4 ton driveshaft with 1350 u-joints and the big carrier bearing .... I can get pictures if someone wants them

Who can argue with that kind of advice? So, I did:

Custom console & Interior. The thing about this truck is I am the only person that has ever turned a wrench, sewed, welded, or tuned it so I can truly say IT'S MINE! When I needed something for it like AC brackets, seat mounts, exhaust etc I made it. It just doesn't matter what you start with or how much you put into it...make it yours by making as much of the stuff you need rather than running out and buying some doodad for it. You'll like the results much more.

Well now, Um my frame is completely custom, a few things on the body, but I would say my frame is the most changed. But then Havoc is not close to stock anymore.
