When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

Still having shifter issues. Intermittent or randomly not getting a full stroke on 2nd to D or D to Neutral. I've go hours and hours into cable adjustment, bracket adjustment and lever fabrication. I've made 3-4 levers at this point, different lengths and heights. Still has issues.

So I pulled the console again.
The shifter itself has a ton of side to side slope in it. So I shimmed the pivot and the ratchet slide. Now no slop in the shifter.
