Butchered 72 swinger

Fix it right.
My cousin just picked up a 73 road runner, nice looking car but the 4-speed shifted like crap.
I took a quick look under it and somebody welded stright rods for shift rods.
They had no bends in them, when a slight bend was needed, they welded another straight rod.
I swear my 2 year old grand daughter could have done a better job.
