In this episode, we create a custom vintage-style swan neck shifter for the 'Radial Flyer' using simple tools and a stainless bar. The result is a profile similar to the iconic swan neck shifters commonly found in early Fords. We finish it off with an original crystal doorknob as the shift handle. It works great and will guide us through the gears in upcoming videos. Enjoy!
