Love the retro feel to that look. That wheel would make a great match as well!

What about that weld though? It looks a little scary, but maybe it's just the picture.

I did a similar mod the other year-

I was talking about where the new lever meets the old lever.

did you just cut the section of the shift lever off that slips through the shift rod and use a bolt with washers and a nut in place of the original part that likes to shape itself like an hour glass? did you use bushings with the install?

I like it. Put a MOMO shift **** in mine, thinking about going your route as well. It's the little things like this that really make a car feel like it was 'made' for you.
