I made a copy of my original Hooker mount.

Nice. Is that Vega all metal?!! Never saw one that clean, not even in the 70's... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img]

Thank you. Yes, it's all metal. I had the car shipped to me from San Jose. There was a couple of small areas around the windshield and an area under the right side glass.
I figured out a long time ago that it's better to pay out the nose for grandmas car than it is to fix rust.

nice work! what shift boot do you plan on using?

[Hemicolt]

Thank you.
I have two nos Ram Rod boots. One will get trimmed down a little. I'll post a picture of another Vega that has the same boot modification.

This looks a lot like the RR I have in my 65. I think it is the earliest design. I noticed the Tee for the up and down gate is silver. Was the an improvment you made to a metal handle?

My RR has a Hurst Tee with the word Hurst in a sparkle sticker. I took it off and stashed it away. Did this one have something similar on it originally?

The shifter in that picture is not mine. I used it for reference to show how I will trim the boot for my shifter. The shifter I'm using is shown on page one with the tunnel modification. It has the flat reverse lever. My shifter will use the black T for the lift gate.
