Yeah the shifter is cool.

Got the mount made for my taillight and got the red seat swapped out for a longer black one

Thats one of my favorite shifter's I will get one someday, Well the past few days I have been fighting major pain!!!! Crazy little thing called Diapoticulitus lets just say OUCH!!!! so I had to spend my bike money on medicine.....I knew there was a reason for the extra cushion on the build time.

Take your time and get well. I'm short on time here myself. But I ordered a seat and got my Portholes cut in.

Hope you get well, the shifter I never seen one like that before I got this one and it was kind of a fluke deal I was asking about some regular handlebar type shifters to modify and make a similar set-up when he said hang on and came walking back with that in his hand, and I knew I had to have it especially when he told me how much

I built my shifters 'T-handle' by cutting some little discs out of 1/4" alum. with a couple hole saws in my craftsman drill press.





Drilled some speed holes in the handle.



I think I may go with a different seat post more like this with a slight kick back. I also got the rear brake bosses welded on.

We can't have a car theme bike without a speedometer


Did a little bit of mock up on my headlight now to finish it and do some modifying on the taillight

[450redrider]

Good Guy Alert! Thanks Rob aka NLCTVWguy picked up the frame, blasted it and dropped it back off. Top notch guy in my book.

The blasted frame:





Hard to find Buick OEM rustoleum metallic apple red: (note the price tag, no cost was spared!)







Matches the new seat nicely:



For this bike I'm using a mix of new, old and homemade parts if ya' ain't noticed already.
