It was sort of a Tom Sawyer situation. I convinced them it would be an adventure-which it was. And I bought them a good lunch afterwards. Very Happy

I needed the pan (or remnants thereof) to duplicate Pieter's solution:

Very cool rotisserie. It's been a while since I've used one, and it was for a Trans Am.
Looks like an interesting project though. Good luck with it. Cool

Well i was trying to upload a video of my gauge showing the turn signals blinking independently but the file is to large. My description will have to suffice. So i separated the indicators on the gauge to blink when turning right or left.

Let the purists rumble.

It all started because I just bought the car and the indictor lights would blink once then nothing. So while i was in there I decided to play around a bit.

You tube video? If not, maybe the way to go, then link it here.

Took a few years......as that never happens Rolling Eyes but finally have installed and hooked up the Fog Lights The Dame needed since we got her. They look right and can't wait to try them out on the road. It's wet and cold at the moment and still need to put the interior back so just the garage shots.

One major note, if it were not for good friends this would not have gotten done as i am clueless when it comes to wiring Smile

Looks nice! Is she painted Royal Red? I have a '70 square in the same color and planned on adding lights in a little bit. What did you do for the switch?

These are so nice! Very well done. Where did you source the short velocity stacks, or are they custom as well?

Was bored yesterday and decided to clean some rusty parts. I also wanted to see the difference first hand between the two shafts. As you can see the longer one is for a T34 due to its seating angle and sloped down and back dash position.

I wire wheeled them and final hand sand. Sprayed with satin black. I cleaned up the hardware as well and heated and oil quenched them. All but the brass spring.

Just what I needed - some mindless cleaning and painting. It was a bit hot here yesterday and had the fan on in the garage. Today the miss says was it windy yesterday? Theres lots of dust in the kitchen on the countertops. Think Anxious Embarassed

I blew rusty dust into the house. Laughing Rolling Eyes

Got the 63 out of its deep sleep today and brought it to the house for a check up and wash. Not seen it for 6 months. Once fuel got to the carb it fired right up.
Ran sweet too, Genny light was on but soon went out.
Wash and polish tomorrow and cruising time.
