Let's start with the shifter. A Huffy Twin Stick is very rare and extremely expensive. Years ago a friend got one that was a derelict at best. I've restored a number of shifters, so I worked out a deal to buy his. I knew it was bad, but oh boy. It was bad!
The pitting on the console was bad. The "wood" panel was rusted away, and the plastic view port was scratched and cloudy.
Replacement parts are non-existent. As you can see above, the cable that connects the shift arm to the indicator was rusted away and frayed. What you don't see is that the spring underneath the indicator was rusted beyond restoration, and it broke. Also, the cable jockey was brittle. It broke years later when I was testing a cable. The work on the shifter restoration has been ongoing for a few years.
I soaked the parts in Evaporust.
I soaked the console in muriatic acid to remove the chrome.
I sent the console away to a guy I know that plates plastic. I had the main parts of the shifter chromed.
