Believe it or not, i made that in 2014. Polished solid brass machined on my lathe, and not so much as tarnished yet. It mounts in front of the shifter under the console...Like i said, see what happens

Great job on the wiper motor. I used to love this kind of work. Makes you feel good about something you were able to do yourself.
Everyday you are getting closer. Going to be a fantastic build when it is completed.

Honestly, the car has been painted at least 5 different colors in my head over the years lol...But i think it still stands at graphite. I wanna just put 5 colors in a hat and pick one and run with it. I think you could paint it any color and id be happy lol...Thanks for the compliment!

So after 16 years, she is back on her own feet, and under her own power....This was Friday night. No issues, and it sounds nasty as hell, def louder then i thought it would be but im very happy. So far ive driven back and forth in my driveway 3 times lol! Yes , I had a tear in my eye, and yes i know the mufflers are not straight lol....Getting the list ready for winter, but right now im a happy camper!
