God damn man.

cut to fit, powdercoat to match.

Finally got some time to work on this thing. I forgot there was actually paint under all the dust, so washing it was a nice surprise. Finished clearancing the car to make the trans fit. Still waiting on the input shaft. Now that its in place I can order the driveshaft.

The shifter sits in the same location as the stock one but looks way better. I still need to powdercoat the bracket for the shifter and the rods. Also need one more lever for one of the shift towers.

Looks fantastic, any plans to retain the stock center console?

I'm going to put it in there somehow. Might need some custom paneling to make it work.

Input shaft is in! Looks like it will work.

Also finished coating the shifter. Just need to trim a few more small spots on the tunnel to clear the levers. Driveshaft on its way soon. Then hopefully I won't have to work too many more saturday/sundays so i can get a chance to put this thing the rest of of the way together

Got a little time last night to final install the adapter and bellhousing. Hopefully a little time later to install the trans for good and make a mount for it. Received my flange for the diff side so I can make sure driveshaft length i measured it good. Wiring is coming together nicely. No big hurdles left now, just a bunch of small ones..

That pedal assembly is really nice, I may be looking for one in the near future. What do they run? like total?

Heres a link to the bracket.

The pedals and master cylinders were around $450. Plus brake lines and other little misc stuff to install.

I also decided against the hood exit. Its just too ugly for me. I had the hood taped and marked for the hole and I just couldn't do it.

I did get the last piece to the puzzle!! Custom 4" Mark Williams 6061- T6 Driveshaft.



Hopefully its strong enough!
