*****, Dimmer, etc

I was bored so I got on the Lathe at work and made a Billet turn signal ****, a tilt ****, a 4-way flasher ****, and a Dimmer Cover in the shape of the '56 stock dash *****. They're in my Gallery "Fergusonic56Ford".....whatcha think? (Also redone the door panels, kick panels, and carpet while you are there)

Ferg,

Nice lookin' *****. Good looking workmanship all round as well.

That last pic - the truck sitting in the garage - beautiful stance to it.

Wow those are way cool!!!!! I like your truck

Hey, though, question for you:



I noticed on your tilt front you have at least one (and I'm assuming a matchon the other side) 12" Firgelli electric lineal actuator (It appears to be but I'm not 100% sure).

Two questions: First, how do you like having them two of them, one per side (I have a single 400# 12" in the center); and, second, how did you hinge it in the front....Got pictures? Just curious to see how other folks have done theirs.

I get alot of e-mails on front tilt do's and dont's. Always looking for new ideas!

Thanks,

Julie!

First of all...thanks to all for the compliments.
Yes the Actuator is a 12" Figirelli. I like the 2 of them just fine. I have not experienced the 1 Actuator setup so I can't compare.
Hinged with a set of Sac Vin part# 8158 to the frame rails.
