Re: Hello
One of the many hurdles of a project. This one snuck up on me when the hood wouldn't close because the stock rad hit the hood and I didn't check it in mock up. Whoops.

Re: Hello
Was drinking beer in the shop and got bored so I decided to attempt a piston shifter know from some leftover exhaust tubing I had laying around.

It looks excellent. I really like the flat colors but don't think it would fit my truck.

Thanks again, it took me 2&1/2 years end to end. I was in the shop ever time I had spare minute though.
