A weld on my crazy shifter broke and I had to pull the cable by hand from Everett there and back to shift. Got rid of the wierd linkage by just mounting the cable under the lever to keep the throw reversed. Rebuilt the entire frame out of angle-iron, much cleaner. Still needs paint.
Still have some major leaks, its fine when I'm driving but the car just can't sit in the rain or it fills up with water. Both from the door sills and the windshield header seal. In Tacoma on the way back enough water got into the multi-function switch (high/low beam, turn signal, wipers, tail lights) that it started smoking and melted some plastic around a terminal. I got it unplugged before anything really bad happened. Ford had a recall on this switch anyhow, I've seen several with the same terminal slightly burned, just too much amperage running through the same connector. I moved all this wiring down to the dash and put it on toggle switches, starter and everything.
