That's awesome. The B&M shifter looks wonderfully out of place. When people see that, they'll know something is going on. Enjoying following this thread.

Not a huge update or anything, but I did get a few parts in yesterday. I got my shift handle, clutch line, master cylinder, and pilot bearing. Im still waiting on some bolts and a clutch alignment tool. Only pic i got was of the shift handle. Name:  010d9e4c-9c60-4a91-a053-9d1a54cb3da5.jpg

I also picked up 9" out of a 81 f150. Its only 3/8" wider on each side so it should fit great.

I bought some 3/4 round bar and my boss milled the bottom, and drilled and tapped some holes to fit the shifter arm. Now we just have to cut to length and thread the end of the rod.

Then I got the transmission back in. Looks like i'm either going to have to modify the exhaust or the trans crossmember.

No new pics but I managed to get the exhaust and crossmember to fit, driveshaft in, and Slave cylinder bled.
