Pickup truck door handle

Sam · Nov 4, 2009

My brother-in-law sent me this photo of an engraved truck door handle. I have no idea who did it. Just goes to show you that there are all kinds of engraving possibilities out there!

Very Nice. Obviously a western truck!

I think that's what your new truck needs.

Perhaps an unexplored market??
This is a machine engraving, I bet they don't know what's possible with handengraving.
Under the hood there's much more that's screams to get engraved.

My thoughts exactly, Willem. I don't know if it is an unexplored market, but I've never seen it before. It could be quite good for the western brightcutters among us if they're not already doing it.

Actual, engraving on hot rods is pretty common, a new truck like the original photo is less the norm, but I have seen a lot of engraved mirrors, door and window cranks, wheel, valve covers, radiator caps and other engine pieces on 30s,40s, 50s vintage vehicles over the years. I did quite a bit of it myself back in my younger days, Once I did a set of bumpers with HUGE scrolls, all done with hammer and chisel.

Here's the link to the site with the engraved door handle. I guess it was made for country singers Brooks & Dunn.

I posted some pictures a while back. I go to "cruise" nights whenever I can and have seen quite a few engraved parts under the hood.

That door handle is cool.

Now that is classy!

I did a set of valve covers once about thirty years ago. I personally think all cars need engraving. I have also done some dashboard monograms also.

Anybody seen Sam Ws engraved car parts with a Cap and ball pistol for a gearshift knob? Neat stuff.

Ron,
I think YOU need some of that stuff on that fancy little red car of yours!

This is one I did sometime ago, He wanted a Tiki. An airfilter pan for a 1955 F100 custom truck here in the UK. Wish I could get my head around the western style stuff though.

Ron you could engrave a Comet as you rode it to the return...
Thanks for everything you share...

i'm thinkin maybe scott snuck around in a parkin lot an did that ! remember what he did to the fixtures in the bathroom a couple years back ?? at the big meetin ??

That door handle is very cool. It's a good idea to cut a metal plate (silver ?) and put it over the handle.

Thank you. Yvan

I HAVE seen pictures of it. Coolest shifter i've EVER seen. If I recall correctly, he was still not quite finished overall. Perhaps he will see this and post some more pictures:big grin:

Yvan · Nov 5, 2009

Yes, I'll like to see some picture of Sam Ws engraved car parts.
Please Please Sam, post some picture.

Yvan.

I was about to say that looks like something you'd find in my neighborhood, then I went to the link Sam posted and it is, has Berg Motors from Midland, about 45 miles away, where Wilson lives,

PS...the trigger is the horn button.
