While I make a lot stuff for my cars that is usually one of I also make a lot of aluminum brackets etc and polish them along with making a crapload of steel braided hoses for my engines. Most of the true attention to detail is actually inside the engines.

That's a fine looking Rocket.
Thank you, sir. Much appreciated from someone as talented (and patient) as yourself.
All beautiful work guys. I’m not going to post any pics as everything I’ve done is either unfinished or has twenty years and plenty of miles on it. I did a TPI swap in my El Camino back in the 90s and color matched the intake and valve covers to the car. It is a mix of Corvette TPI and Camaro serpentine system. It was nicely detailed but not show car quality. It was my daily driver after all. I also put a in Grand Prix dash with a full compliment of Auto Meter gauges that turned out nicely, but I never got the console installed, so the B & M Hammer shifter is just mounted to fabricated stands on the floor to raise it up to the height of the console. I never seem to actually finish everything. I am hoping that moving and building a new shop will help with that. I do less to my cars now than I did before I built my garage 14 years ago.
i find it fascinating how our hobby has progressed in such a short time. Thirty years ago I pulled the body off of my ‘76 Malibu Classic. That was unheard of for a home project back then. It was hardly ever done for a professional restoration. Now it is no big deal for almost any project. Now DIY guys are doing things that were left only for professionals just 15-20 years ago. And home restorers and fabricators have equipment in their shops that were unheard of for non-professional shops back in the day. The decals in the previous post are a great example of that. Keep up the great work guys and keep the pictures coming.
