New door handles and window cranks - clayton machine works

[clay johnson]

Just finished these up and ready to ship out next week.

Machined aluminum, then powder-coated in a semi flat silver

then re-machined around the perimeter and inside the triangular openings,

creating a subtle but dynamic high-light. Super clean detail.

Those are bad ass. Didn't I see you're coming out with some fender braces also?

[MuscleRodz]

I got a pair of cranks from Clay at SEMA, they are even nicer in person, not to mention they tie in real well with Ring Brothers hood hinges.

[jocko124]

Heck, if I knew he was there I would have gotten a pair myself!

[Kenneth]

I have a 69 Mustang they would look killer in!:) Maybe i must order me a set!:)

Yes, we have two styles of fender braces we're coming out with. We dont yet have the pricing nailed down, but here is a preview. Should be ready to ship in January.

Thanks Mike....Also remember they match our pedal assemblies perfectly.

It should, but you may have to modify the armrest in order for the handle to fit underneath.

Clay,

send me the PM again please.

Clay,
Did you ever produce Mopar e-body pedals?

Thanks, Wes

[Blkmamba Nova]

I need a set of both for my 70 NOVA!! Can we pre-order? the fender braces

[$Mike70Z-28]

nice AAAAAAAAA++++++++

[clay johnson]

Clay,

Thanks, Wes

We have a set of OEM pedals here in the shop, but havent gotten around to designing them yet. We've only had a few requests for Mopar assemblies, and as a result, it makes it somewhat difficult from a ROI point of view.

I understand the ROI :) It's a business. Lets just say there isn't as much demand, how much more would us Mopar guys need to pay to help out the ROI? I would be willing if not over the top.Also they may work for more than just e-bodies, some b-bodies are similar.

Those fender braces look very nice! Whose Camaro is that?

Has anyone tried these yet with these arm rest??? would like to see pics

[billyrb]

Clay, darn nice handles! Would like a set of those for my Cherokee. What happened with the centerbolt valve covers that had the removable centers? Weren't those set to come out this year as well?

[jocko124]

I have a similar setup in my 66 Cutlass. I have a set ordered. I'll post pics when they come in.

Thanks Billyrb....The valve covers have been put on the back burner for now (just too expensive to produce). However, we do have some killer LS valve covers in the works.

Joko's order is shipping next week, so hopefully he can post up some pics installed on his Cutlass.

[clay johnson]

Also lookin at doing these in a black anodized version. Any comments?

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2010/12/blackpt202-1.jpg

[jknight16]

Love the black anodized Clay. What's the reach/depth on the splined portion of the window cranks?

I have some thick aftermarket deluxe door panels that need a crank with a deeper reach to get to the regulator (yes they are deluxe regulators).

[LeighP]

I really like the black annodised version.
Looks like I've found the window cranks for the black interior on my 71 Firebird......
Would definately be interested in a set of the window cranks, preferably in black.....can you let me know if these will be available?

[HRBS]

you know my vote ..... :woot:

Thanks Jeff....Here's a close up of the back of the handles showing the splined insert. If your splined shaft doesn't protrude enough through the panel, then these may not work in your application. Someone used to make "extenders" that would fit onto the shaft that would remedy situations such as yours....I just cant find any.

Leigh,

I feel pretty sure that we will offer these in the black version. I'll make an announcement here shortly after the first of the year.

[LeighP]

Cool. Thanks....I'll keep en eye on this thread.

[newmexicosaint]

I dig the black and I dig the silver. have you got pricing on your fender braces? and are you doing them for the 2nd gens?

[protour73]

OMG Clay, the black ones are totally SICK!!!! Please say those will be produced. I was looking at the first pics sayin "Man those would look good in BLACK"!!!

[TheKingOTW]

The door handles and fender braces are awesome. The quality and workmanship is top notch. Here are a couple of pics of them installed.

Thanks Clay.

Clay,

Any chance of doing a clear anodized window crank set?

Anyone who has to think twice on this, check these out. We've been working with Clay for a while now and he has helped us out BIG TIME on my personal project by sending us a set. Clay is a true Hot Rod enthusiast who has a real passion for designing and producing billet components for the aftermarket. His creations are all works of art. If any of you have worked with Clay in the past or purchased his parts, then this is no surprise. For those who havent yet, enjoy.... (even the packaging is a work of art)

NICE!!!! Those are the black window cranks I want!!!
:smoke:

I wonder....can you get those matching style Brake/Accelerator pedal assemblies that Clay does in black as well?????
I'd love to go the matching set.

[HRBS]

Leigh,
There is a reason the brake and throttle arms were not anodized. They go though a different process for powdercoat and would require additonal prep or the anodizing would look different. Hopefully Clay will jump in and explain further.
We will be stripping them and painting them to match the black. They should match very closely when done.

The main reason I decided against the black (and I anodized a set), was the fact that the detail virually went away. With the pedal assembly being in a footwell, you hardly saw them. Thats not say that we will never do a set in black, but for production, we're staying with the satin silver/grey we have.

[LeighP]

Yes, after Clay PM'd me with that comment, I had a re-think of the black on black.....I'm using Year One door panels in my car, they have an engine turned metal trim panel in the middle of them, so I'm thinking a silver set of window cranks wouldnot look out of place there....and then the regular finish on the pedal assemblies would match in, too.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[Jim Nilsen]

I keep looking at these and keep telling myself that buying is easier than making them. They would look perfect with my interior.

Is there going to be a group purchase possible for these?

I could be enticed to buy but I keep telling myself to spend the money on othe things but damn you can see them and they look so F"n cool.

[MikeDVC]

Got mine today (window cranks). Wow, they are nice!!

Thanks Clay

[HRBS]

Jim..... Clays price compared to others on the market is very appealing.... I think they may even be one of the inexpensive ones. But DO NOT let the price get in the way of determining quality..... these are THE best on the market by far. As previously posted.... we got a set of Black Anodized from Clay. Here are some pics of them next to some other components in our interior. A+++

[LeighP]

They do look good....I'm really thinking I'll have to go the silver....otherwise all that exquisite detail will be lost to the "black on black" of the interior.

[clay johnson]

Jim..... Clays price compared to others on the market is very appealing.... I think they may even be one of the inexpensive ones. But DO NOT let the price get in the way of determining quality..... these are THE best on the market by far.

Thanks Steve...We're actually on the higher end of the price spectrum with these, compared to other offerings. There's a lot of detail in these, such as the machining, powder-coating, and secondary machine work after the powder coating. The mounting screw cover is an injection molded rubber piece, and all that adds up. Not making any excuses, just telling it like it is.

[LeighP]

Hi Clay....thanks for your help. Nice talking to you this morning, looking forward to getting my hands on these cranks and the brake/accelerator pedals.

[bigtyme1]

Clay are these priced out and ready to go?



Yes, we have two styles of fender braces we're coming out with. We dont yet have the pricing nailed down, but here is a preview. Should be ready to ship in January.

Looks like some top notch stuff! Those braces look awesome! Wished they made some slick stuff like that for the Chevelle.

[Yelcamino]

Anyone that's been on the fence about buying a set of these door handles and/or window cranks, go ahead and place your order! A few weeks ago I contacted Clay and ordered the handles and cranks for my El Camino and let me tell you, they are worth every penny! These parts are probably some of the coolest examples of detailed machine work that I've seen in a long time! You won't be disappointed!

Awesome looking parts!!! Might have to look into some for the '61!!!!

Are those stainless headers? I love the finish on them!

I guess I need to order a set. Should I PM?

I am looking for a set of nice fender braces and came across this thread. I don't see these on your website. Are they available?

[scherp69]

I don't want to quote it again with the pics as it been quoted a few times, but just wondering Clayton, what valve covers are those in the above pic. Also, can't wait to see pricing on the braces. They would be a nice addition to my build, and if they are anything like the pedals, they will be well worth it.

[LeighP]

Just got my pedals and winders...beautiful! They really are nice to see.....Thanks, Clay.
