Speedy's away from home :(

Sent the car off to the interior shop. Its kinda odd not seeing it in the garage. I kinda miss it. Bare garage means more projects. So .. I polished up the stainless steel console. Installed the left and right head temp gauges, remote starter button, cup holders and shifter boot and ring. Also made up some nice seat belts. I can't wait to get the car back.

Also came up with a simple device for the Speedster. Can you guess what the mystery device is?

knowing you(viaweb/pics) i'd guess an electric remote oil drain vlv or death-ray.

Joe,

My guess - some sort of heat blower.

You're making good progress. Still on track for Carlisle?

Hint - electric contact

so it's not a death-ray?

I guess it could be used as a weapon. The East meet is still ???? Whats on my plate? Work/travel- off to Scotland( Where the men wear kilts and the sheep run scared). The car also won't be completed until the first week of June.

Scotland's beautiful. Not to chage the subject but where are you headed in Scotland?

Joe,

What are you drinking that demands cup holders of that strength and stature . . . Mescal, Absinth, Metaxa (five star) . . . ?
I'm coming to your next party . . .

SWEET console! What are you using for a shifter boot and bezel? Almost looks like a CV joint boot, but I doubt it.

I like cold and wet drinks!

The mystery device is a homemade horn commutator. I didn't like the idea of the steering column being a hot. So I came up with this thing. There is a plactic sleeve with a copper contact that will be mounted the steering shaft. There will be a hot wire that runs up through the steering shaft to the horn switch.Everything is isolated from being shorted to ground. I didn't like a hot source right beneath the gas tank.
