I wish I still had access to a machine shop. I could make some custom levers and shift ***** and sell them off. I've made some levers and ***** in some of my previous projects to add that extra custom touch.

Geez, I know the lost feeling when you have a place to do some type of repair at hand any time you have a need.

Then take it all away and you feel lost or like having your hand tied behind you and can't do ***** any more

Yea It was great to have access to all that anytime I wanted. I did CNC maintenance but I moved out of state and my new job isn't in the machining field. Once things get settled in i want to get back into CNC maintenance again. I hate having to go pay for any machine work I need done now and most shops turn me down for the simplest things. so that's been contributing to why my truck isn't as far along as I hoped it would be by now.

Seems to me this would be about the easiest customizing fabrication known to man. Go to Lowe's and get a piece of mild steel dowling rod, cut it to length, shape whatever you want on the end and epoxy it on there and run a die over the other end to thread it in there. Viola! You could put just about anything you want on the end (a shell from a .357, a 6 sided die, etc, etc, etc) and have something to talk about.

Come on Steve......they don't have time to use that silly old turn signal lever, they're to busy texting.

That's probably true and now that some vehicles will automatically brake if you run up on someone, it means you can pay even less attention to driving and focus more on important things like texting and updating your Facebook status.
