Should have a picture to post up next week, keep in mind it takes time to build these parts and we have over 100 parts. So we have to keep stock on selling parts so we can keep the doors open and in every spare minute we find we design and build new parts.
Just because we design and cut something dosent mean it will fit so we go back and forth untill it does. We will not post up a picture till we know we can ship it in most cases. We will have the marker lights, reverse lights and Door handles this week as we shut one machine down to finish these up for you guys.
Sorry for the delay but you guys are going to love them, they are sick

Fesler,
I cant remember if you said what the details are on these. Are they going to be a near copy of the original? Will you be able to use the factory door lock? I have to order some handles and I would be very interested in them if they are what I am looking for...

I think Fesler is comin out with the coolest products and luckily tons of em. I deffinately would be interested in the trunk hinges and door handles when they come out for second gen.

Started a new thread in Fesler on these, pics posted and will be shipping anyday now. We are working on a few different styles and will post them up as we finish them. They are sick and will fit most GM from 1950s to 1978ish. I will check for sure but I think those are the years.

Door handles are done and we are working on the trunk hinges for 2nd Gen now. The parts are coming guys we have two guys designing them and two guys cutting them. We are going as fast as we can right now.

The good news about waiting: I speak from experience with hood hinges... Fesler takes his time as he WILL NOT send anything out until it is all "engineered" correctly and fits perfectly. So it may take more time up front to design/build, but you'll know you are getting a part that is built right and will last!

Here is my opinion on this stuff. Like assholes everyone has one so take it for what its worth.:P
Billet everything is well on its way to to being the next TT2 wheels. I watched this happen in the street rod industry to where every part of the car that could be made billet was then a year later chrome and traditional looking rods took over and made all the billet cars look dated even though they may have only been built a year or two before.
That being said if you still want billet more power to you but a stock looking door handle would be an absolute waste. A polished alumunum part you have to touch every time you open the door is going to be a major PITA trying to keep looking nice unless you put on micro fiber gloves every time you want to get in the car. If you want brushed it will stay looking better longer but you could get the look your after brushing the chrome or strip the chrome only and brush the nickel for a brushed look without the blueness of chrome.
