where might one find those shifters?

BugTech is the brand of shifter, they're out of Germany but there is a US distributor.

Those lines look schweet dude! Stab that thing back in already! (still call shotgun!) :D

Look's like you have someone looking for a BugTech shifter in this thread!:)

I am the US dealer for BugTech shifters. It just so happens that I got a box of them in today.

hmm you may be seening an order go through soon!

Now there's something you should stab into my car. :D

Good to hear you've made some more progress on getting that thing back on the road. I have no room to talk, but you are a few years overdue.

Nice hard piping Dave!

I was starting to think I would never see this but here it is. I had to have some special bolts made for the Herbie X so I used the 2 to 4 week lead time to Take care of some things and even got another trip to our favorite spot in Mexico in last week.
I still have to make breather hoses, fuel hoses, put the exhaust back on, install the sealing tin and wiring. But it is in the car.

Looking beautiful! Curious about the filters, are those going to be the final version?

Jason

I still need to oil them, but yes. That is it.

What kind of filters are those? Special velocity stacks?

I'm going to have some clearance issues up top with the 2275 in the '52. These may work. Can you source another set?

Pete

The air filters are K&N and the stacks are made to hold them. I bet the stock Dell stacks could be modified with some TIG welding skills.

About time you posted some pix... you are sooo close now! Looking great!

So Sexy, Lets see some whole car pics don't be selfish :D

Right now it is covered with 3+ years of dust. It will need days of detailing to get it back in shape. When I get it out and cleaned up, I will post some pix.

I got the sealing tin and linkage installed today.

I had a couple of hours today so I made the rest of my hoses for oil,fuel and breather. Then hung the exhaust. Still need to wire it and I have a list of other things I need to do to the rest of the car.

Wow, thats really nice!

Love it! Very clean.

:dance::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::dance:

I replaced the trailing arm bushings and added some length to the slots in the adjustable spring plates so i can get to 0 toe. I installed the left cup brace segment but will have to cut and re-weld the lower/aft tab for the right side. It fit with the dummy engine but the stroker engine has the exhaust too close to the down rod on that side. I think I will have to drop the exhaust to cut the tab free. Put it back up to tack it, then pull it back down to finish the welds.

Hmmm... minor technical difficulty.:thinking:

It happens.

2 steps forward, 1 step back, the story of any fabricator :)

My new shift light came yesterday. Added it to my list of things to do before I get back on the road.

Looking good Dave!

What are those going for? I hope you don't mind but I may want to copy, it's very clean and simple and does a great job of what it needs to do.

Jason

I think it was $190 shipped from down-unda.

After tossing a couple of ideas around on were to mount my new shift light. I cut a plate to fit between the steering wheel and hub, drilled it up, painted it and mounted the shift light. I had to buy a 3 wire spiral cord and 3 pin connector so I can turn the wheel and allow the cord to stretch. I still need to wire it all in.

I got most of the engine bay wiring done. Still need to rewire the tag light and run a new pick to the third brake light. I cleaned up all the old wiring and ran everything thru heat shrink tubing, then wrapped it in nylon spywrap were it needed extra protection.

Still need to wire in the shift light, 2 relays for fuel pump and Mallory 6AL and wire the 6AL. I might need to wire in a Tach adapter if it does not work with the new CDI box.
My list is getting shorter. Only 3/4 of a legal pad page.

Wow, you got some cool touches going on. Hmm 3/4 page on a legal pad huh. I think my list is an entire legal pad :lmao: . Keep going... I still have shotgun right?

you will have to have shotgun cause thats all there is. i dont think he is handin over the keys just yet (even though more have driven my car in the last bit than ever b4)

When I (if I ever) get my car done there will be some people driving it too. :D

very cool! :)

Yes a shotgun ride is still reserved for you.;)

Dave ,
Looking very cool -as always .

Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan. Hows yours running.

I made a change of linkage. Love this set up. Can't wait to drive it.
