Finally did something semi-productive

Man, get some paint and some masking tape, give it a quick wash and quick spray paint, then put that baby in and drive that car! Get the Lokar kickdown cable or get the metal linkage stuff from a donor car or ebay or a wrecking yard or whatever. Keep the car as a column shift for now and enjoy the car, then when you have the parts rounded up and know what you want to do, convert it to floor shift if you want...that's my two cents.
