Patrick,
I put my car in the zip lock bag for the Winter. No pictures until Spring.

The shifter mod is easy.

The attached picture gave me the idea.

Pull the rubber boot from your stub shifter and it looks mostly like the one show. Remove the two allen head fasteners (arrows) and the stub shifter lifts right out. You can see a white plastic ball that comes out with the shifter. You will need to drive the pin out that holds it in place. I assumed welding the shifter would melt it.

Then I cut the stub in two about the same place as shown in the picture (arrow). The two stepped down portions were obviously not there. I just cut a piece of mild steel to weld the two pieces together. The stub needed off set 3/4" to the left to center in the tunnel.

I hope this is clear.
John
