Hey Everyone,

I have a good friend, and metal Fabricator that is very interested in trying to make some new Custom PT Parts for the PT on the side to earn some extra cash. He used to professionally design, and build Class 11 Off Road Race Trucks, and has experience, in CAD Design, full metal Fabrication, custom suspension, and much more! He even has a friend who has access to a Foundry that can do custom billet aluminum castings, and has access to the machinery to do pretty much anything anyone can dream up! From Custom one off Grilles, to pretty much anything, he can make it, or he access to the people that can, and everything he builds is not only built bulletproof from his Off Road Race Truck experience, but everything he builds is designed, and built right!

Right now, we are using my PT as a test mule for some new ideas, and plan to offer them to anyone interested soon! Here is a quick brea down of what we are kicking around so far.

1. Reverse Tilt Hood Kit:

It is a well known fact that their are a few Reverse Hood Kits available on the market for the PT. In fact, it really isn't all that complicated of a bracket set up to figure out! In fact it is fairly well established that installing a kit should take no more than one to two hours helper. So, why is it that most of the large PT Parts places around the Los Angeles Area have been known to charge as much as $3000.00 to install a kit? And then their are a few kits that seem to have a very hard time holding the weight of a stock hood! To me that is just not acceptable any way you look at it! So we are working on tackling this problem! We are working on a new bracket set up that will be supported by both the top and bottom radiator support which will give very good rigidity look great and work the way its supposed to! We plan to offer this kit much much more affordable than anything on the current market and this kit is designed to NOT NEED any paint touch ups or modifications of any kind!

2. Billet Mirror Mod Kit

It seems like when it comes to custom side view Mirrors for the PT their are limited options available! I wanted to try to change that by working up a custom plate made out of Metal that would mount up using the stock bolts but is designed to utilize Chopper Style Billet Motorcycle Mirrors. Their are hundreds of cool designs from Flames tear Drops Ovals and much more! Our Bracket Plates will be designed as a separate piece. The idea is to buy the custom Mounting Plates and then choose any kind of hundreds of mirror Combinations you wish! Again these plates will be very affordable and like most of our parts will come available in chrome or ready to paint! to match your ride!

3. Shifter Knobs

Here is another area where their just seems to be a lack of imagination when it comes to after market accessories! The 5 speeds are easy but their is very little in the way of knobs for the Automatic. For our first prototype we are building a custom shifter knob built from a Harley Piston which will give me the American Graffiti look I want but in a mini version which will be a good fit for the PT! Though we are currently working on a Piston Shifter we can make a custom knob out of pretty much anything and adapt it to work!

These are just a few of the ideas we are working on at the moment but we are always looking for more ideas or any kind of custom work that anyone might want all the time! So if you got an idea for a new cool custom part for your PT or anything please let me know and we would be more than happy to see what we can do for you!

So take it easy and please let us know what you would like to see!
