Re: Biscayne Resto Project
 ... 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?

Ken [/ QUOTE ] 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
 , but would be funny if it did.Jason
