    billet stainless door strikers

    weve been working on these for a little over a month now. did our first official test fit on my highschool buddys car. really pumped on these. they will come with new plastic, springs, and pins, but since we don't have those in stock yet I used an old set for the test fit. these will work for all 55-61 GM cars. our first run will be 75 sets and weve already had 65 preordered. target price is 260 with polished hardware as shown. feslers offers an aluminum version of these for 220 so we wanted to be fairly competitive with them. I think we have the better product without a doubt. pictures don't do them justice. what do yall think?

    Nice piece. The portion with the teeth, why did you opt to go solid?

    Nice stuff Mike.....beautimus! Any way to remove those machining marks inside? I'm guessing it would take a lot of work. I have a set chromed, but I may have to get a set of stainless ones. You keep my list growing.

    Nick, the factory ones are pot metal with a steel insert for wear. I'm guessing the stainless would wear good so a separate piece isn't needed.

    How did I kno u were gonna ask that?? Prolly cuz the whole time we started this project I thought of ways to polish the inside. But after seeing it yesterday on my friends car, it's one of the most beautiful parts I've ever seen on a car. I couldn't be happier with it. Ive seen a few chrome ones at the plater and they can't compare to these not even close.

    Beautimus!!! Lol that's a good way to describe them. If I were you , I'd at least have a set of ours in ur hands before u make that decision . Don't go by a picture.

    Appreciate the feedback!

    Yep , Cnut is right. Fesler makes billet aluminum with a stainless insert for 220. looks like they were trying a cost effective route to this. To me our stainless seamless striker is the best looking option but the most expensive .

    Are you sure it's the fully polished one? They offer a few different options . I actually bought a set from them cuz I wanted to size them up but that was 4 weeks ago and they still haven't shipped . Maybe they heard....
