Nice work Jeff... I'm impressed!

My shift knob is on the way:)! I contacted your guy... no luck with the handle:(. No word yet from Kemper on the color, either... sent him snail-mail months ago.

Thanks, when you starting your build thread? You have some great finds on parts.

Second door today then steering......

PDUB 05-22-2011 08:55 AM

Ahhhhh!
 
Would like to have started already... first, I need to both get school out of the way and get the house built. Then I will get on it in a big way. Meantime, I'll collect the parts and squirrel them away for then.

I appreciate your help Jeff with finding those cool parts. I wouldn't have them if it wasn't for you. You are a wealth of knowledge and you are very gracious to share it. Congratulations on becoming a Concours judge:D!

I love your build... the wheels look fabulous!

BTW:

I have had an upper steering shaft which came out GREAT!:D

The part is all steel and used Oilite type bronze bushings, way better than plastic type on SAI. Very high end part and perfectly made.
