rad custom shifter

I got the hiem joints from Grainger, made in USA and cheap! This reverses the throw so it shifts like most tunnel setups - park all the way forward. I also sped up the leverage ratio to 1.5:1



Yes this is an old grip and clutch lever off my dirtbike. Squeeze the lever to release the lever to shift, so you can't knock it into reverse on the freeway.

front end sheetmetal work

I got the front wheel wells lowered down 3" and dropped the sheetmetal down 1" under the stock grill. Time to think about front bumpers. I'm pretty much set on a '37 Desoto bumper but I may make it myself... Also I finished up the shifter, will post pics soon.




I just put some rattle can red on the rims under the hub caps probably have to wire-wheel 'em and paint them nicely in the spring when the studded tires come off.
