Last one to post in this thread wins!

I built a mini console for my Ranchero, factory 4 spd 275 horse 289 :D. I changed it to a Hurst Super Shifter after I watched a friend up the street grab second gear in his Comet GT and the stock shifter came off in his hand :wtf:. We had just put the top loader 4 spd in the Comet replacing the original floor shift 3 spd :BangHead:. We drove it home with a large phillips screw driver shoved into the remnants of the shifter :lol:. Mocked the console up in cardboard and went to see another friend in the A/C business and his buddies in the sheet metal shop. Dug through the rem pile for some aluminum sheet, the tin man did his magic, some pop rivets and some stainless sheet metal screws and the huge new hole in the floor was covered up in a rather stylish fashion :D Total cost, 1 case of Budweiser :D
I did that with my 67 Chevelle 327 4 speed. Got in a run and had him out of the hole and went for second and ripped it out of the floor. I replaced with a Hurst Comp Plus. no more breaking gearshifts lol. The old shifter was the tube type and had a T handle on it. Snapped the tube right at the floor.
