Before: stock window winder
After: GoWesty offset window winders that were treated to some graduated hole lightness, along with a touch of countersink.

And yes, they were purposely drilled perpendicular to the arm, not the mounting base.
The goal was to try and sorta match the seats' grommet look. Drilled parallel to the base would have left an oval look.

I'm happy with how they turned out. Just imagine how nice they'll look with some zippy door cards!

I love them. You have the coolest tools ⚒️

Love the window cranks Chris! I think you should make some up in your spare time to sell. First in line, just saying.

Happy New Year, I hope.

After better understanding the design of the X-pipe muffler I was using, I've decided to redo the exhaust before heading back to the tuner.

I'm still noodling on mounting approach and where I want the exhaust tips to exit.
I'm torn between the close together look, which I really like, vs farther apart where you could get a peek at the the cool looking muffler bracket I'm building.

No, those aren't the actual tips I'd use. Yes, I agree, they are too long. Just mocking up things.

I've also worked up a "through the body" exit that I may attempt. In this version, the mufflers don't hang below the bumper and aren't visible at all. And should I proceed with this idea, I suspect it'll will draw even more "gallery" comments than the hood vents... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Have always loved it when you can see a bit of the transmission under the rear bumper of a mid-engined car (see 288 GTO for the gold standard), so I am voting for the split pipes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Love the door handles and the metal door backers. When you press those will you mill out the dies? I have a cnc mill on back order. If it get's here in time, maybe we can work on them together.

I needed a fixture to help keep the mufflers positioned while I fab the mounting bracket. I figured why not have some fun while I was at it.
I may try and figure out a way to incorporate this into a rear valance. Add mesh to the openings, etc. We'll see.
