Who fabricates a rolled and tapered I-beam, just to mount a shifter? I guess I do, with the help of a crazy-azz crew that doesn't see anything wrong with realizing my visions. The top and bottom plates are almost there.




Roughing out the ribs and end caps for the shift rocker arm.





The other door bar on the chassis.





I'm also making progress on the grille. Now, it's going to be an exposed carbon fiber shell, with a metal mesh grille (preferrably stainless), with copper (I think) nipples to mount the mesh insert. The nipples will go through the shell, like a wire wheel, and be visible on the outsides of it. The emblem will be cast in copper too, I think.
