real cool home made parts

not exactly home made but i think he was making them on his spare time at work. my friend was making these in the 90s (at least i think it was the 90s) the hood pins and exhaust tips are stainless and then he was also making the parts to make boxed control arms. he showed me the dies he made to make the hood pin guides that screw to the bottom side of the hood. he is VERY good at this kind of stuff.

Hey Eric, sign me up for a pair of the control arm inserts for $20.00 if you have enough. How about the exhaust tips---what size pipes? For sale? How much?

I will see if I have any left. I think the only thing I have left are some sets of unfinished tips.
