Love the build. I have a 71 Convertible.

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.

Car looks great! Good job getting it to be drivable again. Congrats on being a father, too.

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.
