Im curious how your mid-shift conversion & bench worked out, can you post a pic? Any more pics of the tunnel fab for the T56? How'd your engine compartment come out.

I'll dig up some more pics of the tunnel fab sometime this weekend, as well as the engine bay.
As far as the shift relocator kit I wouldn't recommend it. You end up dismantling the entire transmission and modifying a shift rail, which seems easy enough, except that if your drilling is off even a *slight* amount it will shift like garbage. Reverse is one of those gears I like having and it's not really available easily. That setup has been a giant pain. For the time and headache you might as well buy a T56 magnum if you need to move the shifter. I will be buying a new shift rail and installing stock parts now that I have bucket seats.

Thanks for the compliments on the car.
