Looks good. Body is back off and in the paint room, ready for final prep before painting.

Another step forward, heading down to Muskegon to get your dash leather. Last chance to change you mind on dash layout? Nothing wrong with what you have just still an option.

DV do you have a guess at how much you can have the tops made up for, and about how much time it will take ? thanks Dave

Dave,
The first top I was expecting never showed up,(?). In fact I just left the custom upholstery place a couple of hours ago with a streetrod, the first thing he asked me was about the tops. I told him for sure I had one on the way and as soon as I get it it will be in his hands! I know the first top, making upholstery patterns, header pattern, bow and window patterns will take a little time but after that it should go very quick, BUT I have no time frame and no cost on them until he at least sees what I am asking! Sorry.... DV |

The top is on its way. Terry |
Ed,
Another option, strtictly an option no personnel feelings involved but here is a shifter that mounts below the tunnel directly to the C-6 allowing a 6" handle. This will at least drop the shifter to around you elbow or lower instead of being 'shoulder' height! Just thought you might like to look at it before we install the B&M large shifter?. http://www.lokar.com/interior_pages/...fter_ghost.jpg DV PS, I think the one in the picture is a 10" or 18" handle. It's Lokars C-6 shifter |
Ok DV,
As I said before, I have no concerns going with any of your advise and recommendations. So.... Don't open the "arm pit" height B&M shifter. I just ordered the 6" transmission mount shifter and boot/indicator from Lokar all in midnight black like the peddle set :3DSMILE: http://www.lokar.com/product-descrip...iftind-kit.htm Summit had it back ordered so I paid a slight premium to get it before this weekend direct from Lokar. |
Ed,
It was only a comment not a request...............But since it is done I really think you will like it better. Did you order the LED shift indicator? Not needed, just another gadget in case you ever want to see what gear you are in. Can be mounted in the dash (over the column?) on the shifter console itself, heck in the trunk if you want! Ok I'll quit thinking now. DV |
I really think this will be a much better solution than the B&M. I did get everything to go with it. I got the boot ring that has it set so the gear indicator can be mounted on the left hand side vertically.
Let me know if you know anyone looking for a good deal on a never used B&M shifter.... Maybe there's a Willy's owner in need of a spare :rolleyes: If I ordered the right things... It should look like this when done. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ar_Shifter.jpg |
Excellent

Cpt.Ed,
We've talked but I forgot. Glove box...Got the parts? Gonna use one, or do you want me to fill it in? DV |
Never got the parts for the glove box, so I'm thinking just fill it in...
|
OK- now the thread gods tell me MY OK message is to short and make it longer okokokokokok.
DV |
CptEd,
I know I wouls miss the glove box in my car so I did a little searching around, Finiah line did it again. Even looks to be an upgrade and the same shape as CR's- Once again at least it is an option: http://www.finishlineaccessories.com...love%20Box.jpg DV |

If you say it'll work. I'll order one and get it shipped to you. |
CptEd,
Cover is ready to go on, dash is drilled, so spending monay at this point is getting fun-no? ASAP please. in case I have to and probeblu will need to modify the dash too.. I think you will definately like this little option. DV |
CptEd/DV,
I use my glove box to carry spare fuses, relays and Arneca gel for people that burn their legs on the side pipes. It really is quite handy. Are there any new pictures posted of the build? Jim S. |
Quote:
Ya the glove box can have an upside. I ordered the one from Finishline and DV can finesse it into the dash. I'll be at DVs place this Saturday, so I'll take some new pics on where the build is at. |
A new computer, new camera thanks to Cpt. Ed, and I am having start up problems switching my old photgraphs to this computer and getting them organized. Not much to see at this point, dash has been modified, gauges and switches are in, column is in, (now this is really cool!) NO SLOT in the dash - "open upside horseshoe" By making a custom support, using flaming rivers drop bracket ($80.00 +/- you'll never see) column goes straight through the dash now..pretty neat.
I'll get my pictures worked out soon, promise. DV PS>Cpt Ed....you sure have been quiet about those lower control arms????????? |
