I got a tailshaft-mounted shifter from Lokar, out of their "seconds" bin. It has a 16" shaft.

First, I bolted it to the tranny and figured out my length and my bends.

Now, I am going to cut a perfectly good shifter. I need to add 21 inches to it. I want the shifter at eye-level...RAT FINK BABY!!!!

I need to taper my cuts on both pieces so the shaft is welded all the way through, not just the outside.

I have a very heavy 60's skull shift knob to top it.

I told my wife that if I ever broke an engine mount, the shifter would knock her out

I will post a pic when it is done, and I get a damn camera.
