I move around a lot, work on this and then that. At least it keeps going forward.
A nice present I got from one of my sons will keep any chill away



Another son got me this for the trailer.



We got some work done today. What a Motley Crew this is.....









Kyle B., your cousin says HI!



Got some painting done today.

I found this paint at the hardware store. It's a stone finish and I thought it might be good to coat the floor with this so not to slip when getting in and out as it has a very rough texture.

More painting done today. The front is finished. Now for the rear, after I come back to earth. The fumes suck. Does anyone have a grab handle inside their car to make getting in and out easier? I'm thinking of adding one.

I use the roll cage as a grab bar.

The gusset bars between the windshield bar and the forward side hoops. Only reason I included them is have found them to be useful climbing in and out.

I've gotten in and out of the car numerous times now and always find myself grabbing the opening of the sun roof but that will be sealed. My roll cage is to tight to the body to get a gloved hand in. I called the local bone yard and had the wife pick this up.




I marked, drilled and attached it where my hand fell each time when climbing in and out of the car.






It's retractable, so it springs up out of the way when not needed. I knew I'd get a GM part in here sooner or later!!
It's off a 99 Buick Century but I'll bet one can be had out of some other GM or Ford.

I also decided to address the shifter handle. After I removed the knob I tore all the sponge foam from the shifter housing. What a mess. The stock knob weight is 12.2 oz.




The new shifter knob I bougt in a 2 pack. I decided to use this one. It's weight is 6.4 oz.



I'll sell the other one if anybody wants it, just shoot me a PM. $15 shipped. Here is a pic of the other one.



After I got this all together I noticed the shifter was sloppy, so back off it came. This is what I found.





The shifter handle part should be fairly easy to get but what about linkage rod? It's way out of round. Any idea on where to pick these up at or should I just try to repair them? What about the other end hooked to the trans-axle, will it be like this too?
