'69 Barracuda T56 swap, floor, cross member

Cut a slit in the side of the 3/4" pipe, clamped with vice grips, then ran a hot weld up the slit to weld the shift handle to the pipe. Chrome shift handle did not get discolored. No clearance issues when shifting through the 6 gears. Wrapped some old ratty carpet around the console to see how it looks.
