The shifter does not hit the dash , but its close. It sit higher than I want. I plan on making a offset mount to move the shifter back 1" and lower it 1 1/2 inches. I will know for sure when I put the seats back in.

I spent the day cutting out the rear valance ,I deleted the rear bumper gaurd area. It makes for a more cleaner look.

Looks to me to be a very AWKWARD shift handle position -- like it's installed backwards.... the angle is just all wrong from the pic....

the shifter handle was installed wrong n a couple pics. Later in other pics its installed correctly.

Yeah guys, I was just playing with the shifter positions and took some pictures with the shifter 180 out. I may decide to make a whole new pistol grip shifter out of aluminum to have the correct height and position. I will address after I get the seats and the steering column back in.

Yeah I tried the stock one and the position just didnt feel right..... so I sent it back and got the "modern" version....better but still will need some tweaking to get it in the right spot.

Media blasted and epoxy primed the fenders , header panel, rear valance panel and dash cage. I added the fish gills to the fender , these patches were attach by SEM panel adhesive

I made a custom bracket to move the shifter back and angled it 20 deg toward the rear. It feels much better.there is no reason to go with a shorter shifter at this point. The factory boot and ring will have to be mounted further to the rear.

i see that you are going with a shaker hood. Are you going to mount the shaker bubble to the hood. I'd like to do that to mine. just wondering if you had any ideas on the best way to do it. thanks

I plan on making a fully funtioning shaker hood.This will be patterned like the Danko baseplate . I will make the baseplate out of some 1/8 aluminum, with some air box filter and tubes from the speed from specture air intake kit.
