Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Just kidding !!!!!!!!!!!

No, actually, I am using the early Ford shift handle, and built some brackets out of 3 x 3 angle iron that I cut into a shape . I am going to use a spring loaded ball bearing as a detent, so that the shifter clicks into each gear. I still have some work to do on that, but about 3/4 of the shifter is done.

Here are some pictures, starting with the angle iron I cut, and then the pretty much laid out shifter. I could have just ordered a Lokar, or Gennie, but this was more satisfying, and I have about 20.00 in the whole thing so far. Used lots of scrap steel out of our scrap heap.

Thanks for looking.
