| That green stalk just past the
wrapped exhaust is the shifting lever that goes into the
transmission. I was able to put it in all 3 gears and reverse, but
to drive the car, the shift mechanism has to be hooked up. The
major parts are there - shift rod & rollers, but it obviously needs
to be hooked up and adjusted. We're trying to do that now. |

| Even in chassis form, this is a
dramatic car. |
