very interesting. it being black, it's hard to see what you did exactly. is it a fabbed up box of sheet metal, a solid block of aluminum? chrome plated seat tracks? looks like you spent some coin on that car. mine are just powder coated black. thanks for posting the picture for me.

I wonder if it could be made from a good block of wood?

No, not chromed. I had an opportunity to get a five gallon bucket of small parts nickel plated for $50. Couldn't turn it down.

The blocks were made of hardwood, not aluminum and were painted black. Forgot I wound up using wood after considering aluminum.
