One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.
There's an inch or two here and there that look pretty good before the old grinder comes out. LOL.
I picked up a 3 inch wide 2 & 1/2 foot long 1/8" steel to finish off the center section on the inside of the car floor, and I'll weld up that last un-welded segment after I close up that gap where the stock shifter goes.
The next stage will be to make a bolt on crossmember that will not only double as the rear transmission mount, but also strengthen the crossmember. I'll be sure to weld in the anti-pinch tube.
