Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build

One other little machining project I finished the other day was the shifter handle. I'd ordered one thru eBay but it was defective so I had to return it and get my $$ back. After looking at it, I told myself, "If you weren't so lazy, you'd just build what you need." So that's what I did. I picked up a piece of stainless flat bar from Metal by the Foot that was anything but flat or dimensionally correct. By the time it was flat and square, it was a ghost of its former self. However, it was plenty sturdy and would work if I could outlast it. It fought a good fight but I won in the end.
