stainless door handle

[twoslowinwyo]

well after too many months of trying to get this done i finally did. i made a stainless steel replacement for one of my broken door handles. it was not that hard but just trying to find time to do it was. been working 14 hr. shifts 7 days a week since Jan. 1. hopefully it will be ending soon. i did take some pics w/my new phone but for some reason i can't get them on my PC. i will get some w/my camera this week and post them. i also have been working on a new badge for the front grill, it is the round AMC logo that was used on a kamback grill that i found in a salvage yard. i just liked the way it looks. i made one out of aluminium to get the bugs worked out of the programming and i plan to make one out of stainless also. it will be a little different though, instead of engraving the logo into it i will be making the design out of colored glass and putting that in instead. i will post pics as soon as i get it done.

If you send the pictures as a picture message but type in your email address instead of a phone number they should go to your email.  It will use a message so if you don't have unlimited or pay per message or something you might not want to do it that way.  It works with Verizon at least.

I cant wait to see that...Sounds awesome!

sorry i have been out of commission with the crud this weekend. i will try sending the pics to my e-mail and see if that works LAZ

here is the round AMC emblem i was talking about, it is not right since i messed on a few radius cuts but i got it fixed so the next one should be better. LAZ

HEY ! that's really good, now polish it up and it would be fantastic for sure. Good work !  

Could you make more for some of us who need them ?  What would cost be for such ?

[LaGuardia]

I'd say "WOW", but "WOW" just ain't enough...

It looks really really good, and it's quite unique. What's more, I bet it will surely last longer than the original one, looks tough !

I really like it.

i have not tried to install it on my car yet, no time. i would have liked to polish it up but that is one thing i just can't get the hang of.  as for making more of them, yes i would like to do that but i won't be able to make some up for a few months. a few changes i would like to do are (let me know if you like these), engrave AMC or the AMC triad  on the handle. we are going to be getting some engraving software for the CNC mill so i should be able to put names or other designs on the handles. maybe even this  i am pretty excited about these since we all know how great the originals were , as for cost it will probably be around 25 ea. engraving extra. i will try and keep the price low since we all don't have a lot of money to spend these days. will keep you all posted of my progress.

OK, all sounds good, no hurry here. Personally I think I would like them to look original but the AMC logo or Eagle head would also look real smart. I would be happy to have any one of them or even all ! 

You're right on about the money thing, $25 for plain ones sounds good  considering that they wouldn't break again like the originals.

Look forward to hearing more, keep up the excellent work !

That is sharp!!! That emblem is amazing...I think it actually looks better than an origional. And the door handles are awesome. I would totally pay that for them. Thats some fine metal work!!

I would take a pair ASAP.
