Thanks Tim. I wish I could find more time to work on it.

That's for sure. It has been the "snowball effect" for a while. The bigger and faster is goes the bigger and faster it goes
Part of it is my own doing. I have been taking Black and white Photographs and doing some contests.

Today I got my turn signal stalk mostly made. It needs a little more work to look better though.

Interesting.......never thought of making a new turn signal stalk. Very cool idea!

mknittle

Of the two I have one was broken and the other cracked. It is just a ppiece of 1/2" tubing and part of an old Cummins 220? pushrod the **** was a leftover from my machine shop days.

LOL, somehow I envision Mark in Cuba, fashioning new Axle shafts for the locals 57 Chevy's out of railroad iron..............

Talent like that is rare......

Thanks Pat.

I got the turn signal stalk done today. I couldn't get a good picture of it though. Now I am working on what to use for a boot. I need to order some leather needles for my sewing machine. I now need 3 boots. It would be cool if they all matched.

Mark,
I am expecting you will be making these leather sewing needles out of railroad iron from Cuba...

mknittle

One never knows about these things Blieve it or not my sewing machine it like my other projects there are some homemade parts.
Only to make it go really slow if need be

This morning my dad hit me up for a ride to Capitol Clutch and Brake( He has a cataract that needs surgery ) for a booster for his Peterbilt pickup project.
So I picked up Shoes, Calipers and pads for my Dodge.

I got the turn signal stalk done and painted. So here is a picture. I just stuck the **** there to show how it looks assembled. I am pretty happy with it.
