Lokar nostalgia shifter

I've been waiting for this part for some time. I was finally able to order it from Summit yesterday and as usually, it arrived the next day - so I wated no time installing it. I did a full write-up on the H.A.M.B. as well of the install. Below are a few highlights;













Gauges & ignition

Just got my ignition switch, oil & water gauges so I decided to see how they are going to look/fit in the stock gauge cluster. I need to do a bit of work to get them to look the part but I think this is the layout I am going with.

Misc items - it's mockup time

I am on a path to put everything on the car that is supposed to be in there so I can get some of the fabrication items completed. Radiator, gas tank, lights, headers and other items have been put in place to I can start with wiring, mechanical, lines, hoses and all of that good stuff. The headers are not the final exhaust setup as I plan on doing a dual lakes style header setup on each side.





roof/visor work

Not too many updates but that doesn't mean things aren't being done. I am getting into tedious tasks now and have shied away from any deadline at this point as I am trying to get things exactly how I want them. Here is the drivers side roof to visor work in progress.

Fitting the visor

Got the visor in from Snyders, I ordered an early model A visor because I liked the shape a bit more, but that means some more fabricating work. It is just sitting in position at the moment, quite a bit of tweaking and adjustment before it gets attached.

Battery hold down for my Odyssey

I know I'm jumping all over the place but it keeps me interested. I made a battery hold down the other day that will end up in the hotrod, but is currently in another one of my toys.

The hold down needs to be finished a bit more as its still rough, I wanted to get something done quick so I could put it in but its not bad for an hours worth of work.

Once I am happy with it ill take it out and grind/sand/file some to get it looking a bit better.
