Well got my billet stuff in the mail today. Grill, Rearview mirrow, Turn single, Hazard switch, Tilt arm and the Shifter selector. Installed everything but the turn single. I have to tear down the steering wheel to do that so i'm waiting till i find a new Grant wheel i like but the new pieces look cool!!!! Post pics tomorrow.

good deal....we wanna see the pics for sure

Did you get the interior stuff from Billet Specialties? I plan to make another order from them and get some of the little interior stuff like the hazard knob and the turn signal knob. I have also been thinking about the window handles and the ohh sh*t bars. Does anyone know if the bars are $49 a pair or each? Their catalog doesnt specify.

Low87 · 02-21-2003, 10:11 AM

Sweet! Welcome to fingerprint hell!

I got my Empire Motorsports door stems today.
I also ordered a column kit w/ the tilt arm, shifter knob and the hazard switch yesterday.

I'm gonna order this in a week or two:

It's not billet but I bet you couldn't tell unless you picked it up.

Low87 · 02-21-2003, 10:57 AM

That is niiiice! Who sells that?

**smokinn** · 02-21-2003, 12:19 PM

So far I bought all my stuff off of ebay. For the interior stuff that i mentioned i paid 75.00

Low87 · 02-21-2003, 12:29 PM

That's a good price for all of that. What style rearview mirror is it?

LOHRTBT · 02-21-2003, 03:10 PM

That is cool...reminds me of west coast choppers!!

Low87 · 02-21-2003, 03:19 PM

WCC, the latest retail product whore.

I had TONS of fun getting my stock shift knob off... took me 2 hours!!!!! I have advice for you know, use a dremel with a cutting wheel and slice it down the middle, and go all the way through (you'll see sparks). It would have been so much easier if I knew that ahead of time...

You mean drill through the end of it or cut it somewhat parallel to the steering column?
I got my column kit this monring and will be installing tomorrow and I wanna know ahead of time.

LOHRTBT · 02-28-2003, 12:55 PM

It took me about 10 seconds to remove my stock shift arm??? WTH??? Just push the pin out of the hole by the colum and remove.

Izzy...where can I look at a site for mirrors and such like those... I want a set of outside mirrors like that..you know the one that got stolen from that place in TX on that white truck.

Mine is just the handle end not the whole thing.

http://www.mooneyesusa.com is where you can get those interior/exterior mirrors. The only thing is the head on the mirror is plastic but the mounts and stuff are stainless but for that price I'ma get it anyway.

Izzy · 03-06-2003, 02:24 PM

Okay I got the column kit all on except the damn shift knob doesn't go on the shifter arm all the way?

I could just cut it down but I'd like to know if anyone else had this problem. :

Dave you never gone junk yard shopping? That's some of the best stuff out there. Sure you have to look for it and get DIRTY

(We all know you never get dirty!!) But you can save $$$ and get the real stuff not the repro's junk they sometimes sell.

BTW: Better bring your own B-12 to the swap meet. I won't have any there for you
