Guys, thanks for checking in and your kind words. Well the motor and trans are in for good now. The tunnel is set and because I didn't want to run a console, more work. My buddy Steve took the time to create a solid piece to which the decorative shifter trim would simply screw down to. Due to shifter size and location on the tunnel…well you either have been through it or simply take a look. The trim piece had to be extended longer in size so that if I have to pull out the complete short throw for whatever reason the tranny stays put. Also took the advice of my metal/body guy Sam, and scratched the 50 year old metal (that looked so good) and coated it with quality bed liner. Dyno mat will still be used for sound etc…
