Antlers look great (are they FF's?) Shifter is period correct and Barris replica correct. If it was me I would throw a leather or rubber boot over the shifter assembly and paint the shift handle red or dip it in red rubber/plastic.

Your talents, and innovative ideas cease to amaze me. Your build looks better, and better every time I see it. I'm also happy to hear that its in running condition, last I was there you had a small problem with the ignition system. I have started my project. I have also taken some pictures, but cant seem to follow the instruction on getting them posted. If its OK with you, I would like to call you again, and ask about your friend that made your detect-o-scope? I have had some contact with him, but have a few unanswered questions. If you ever find your self in northern New Jersey (exit 145) off the Garden State Parkway, please feel free to call, and come by, I'm off most days. Thanx, and keep up the GREAT WORK! Mike

Mnaw, if you have a kit I would really like to see that too, I live about a block off GSP 150. If you ever need an extra hand with the car send me a message. I am an automotive tech of 20 years. My fabrication skills aren't much to speak of, but maybe I could help, free of charge of course for a fellow Bat-fan

I'm an auto mechanic for over 33 years, my fabrication skills are not as good as my tech skills. John88 gives a lot of inspiration with his words, when I talk to him. Anyway, I"m scheduled to pick up my DH kit early January. I have been stripping down the Lincoln I got off ebay. I have the body off the chassis, and began tearing down the engine to be sent out, for rebuilding, I"m going to do a drive train, and frame restoration. I live in the Morris County area, work in Essex County, I live a few blocks from route 80, 46, and 287. Nice to hear from another bat-fan from New Jersey, especially so close. If you like? or any one else, on here would care too, you can e-mail me, your e-mail address, I can send the pictures, that I have taken up to the point I described. I have not yet learned how to get them to this site. My name is Mike, my e-mail is mnawb13@aol.com. On another note, if anyone has heard from Sammy, or has any information to share, please let me know. Thanx all Mike

He runs a small shop and it takes him some time to finish orders, but he does always deliver. I trust he will do the same for you, Mike.
