Another great day in Arizona for a car cruise.

 

Even had a Rambler show up.

 

A beautiful night for our monthly cruise.

 

One of the younger group and his first project, a future HAMB'r.

Just cruisin' in normal traffic, in Wetumpka Alabama.

 

Hello,

Wow, that long stick shift lever brings back memories of our high school Metal Shop/Auto Shop project days. My friend wanted to make his 1951 Pontiac two door sedan different than what other kids were driving. It was the first Pontiac in our teenage group, so that was different. But, after seeing a cool, red 1940 Ford two door sedan with a Buick motor and tall floor shift lever weekly in the drive-in restaurant parking lot, he had to have a floor shift lever for his 51 Pontiac.

The 40 Ford two door sedan had a LaSalle Transmission and the floor shift lever came directly up from the transmission. We would have to make our own brackets and moving arms to make the floor shift unit attach to the existing automatic transmission. I looked at plenty of drawings and advertisements, as well as going to the local auto parts/speed shops for ideas.

After drawing out the necessary parts, the metal shop machines went to work. The project was in conjunction with the Auto Shop next door for the next period of classes. It took a while to cut, file, sand and drill the necessary stuff. But, luckily, all of the parts fit and the bolting began.

The first attempt was to add in a long curved stick with a white ball screwed in place. That looked really good. But, when it went into park or toward the dash, it hit the surface. So, we had to make one similar in curve and looks to the photo sample. We even made a short curved lever that looked like a Chevy 4 speed lever, but our friend liked the taller one.

 

A gathering in Torrance Ca.

That Desoto Fireflite makes my heart flutter! That has been a bucket list car for me for quite some time!

This is all I see today, because I am in the shop getting ready for a trip tomorrow.

God Bless
