Okay Don, I have just gone thru the whole thread again and couldn't find what you are going to use for a shifter or hand brake. I noticed that there was no hole in the floor for either so wondered what trick you have up your sleeve ? Tim has done another outstanding job for you again and I must say, I like the way one sits down into the roadster more so then sitting too high with ones head up in the breeze.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

But it looks like it has a length of string attached to enable release the brake when you want to move. These hidden trans selectors under the dash just a newish idea as I haven't seen one anywhere so if you could shoot a photo of it and how it works Don would be really appreciated.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Windshields are custom built to lay back @ 37 degrees with curved glass, not for a short pocketbook. all hand built lower stantion's and s.s. frame Originally Posted by jerry clayton
