Looks great Ken! We need some video...please! (Get the camera lady to film it for you https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif)

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/ooo.gif... Now that engine compartment looks correct. The tank looks nice.

It does take some careful measuring to get the shifter in the correct spot with a Hurst. Looks like you have it in a good spot but is the stroke just as long as stock with that adapter?

I got the Boot off Ebay$$$$$$$$$$$ and as soon as we slow down a little at the Shop.....I am going to make a Mold to reproduce them.......Right now I can't get machine time in my own place........LOL.......It's not even close to NOS....But Black Inner tube patches and Spray Tire Shine sure make it look that way.....

If you could reproduce them that would be great. As we know they are very hard to find. I was lucky and a mint one was found for me. If you could make a EXACT reproduction I'm sure you could make some $$$.

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
 

If Ken were to make a reproduction of the boot, I'm sure it would be exact. Wouldn't it be ironic if someone else was upset about a repro Ken made? It would never happen https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif, but would be funny if it did.
