but also very clever....

My problem is that being 6'5' and with, let's say, larger than normal feet, the thrill and enjoyment of driving my Arntz is tempered somewhat by the discomfort of trying to fit into a small footwell. I have to drive bare footed-- even slim race-type shoes won't fit down there-- so long drives become problematic, especially on hot days.

That, together with the fact I hit the big seven oh tomorrow, means that my next Cobra (oh yeah, I'm not finished with them yet!) will in all likelihood be an auto. I'll miss swapping cogs, but one less pedal down there means more room for my feet.

When the time comes I'll certainly be in touch with you Greg for some shift lever set up details if you wouldn't mind, but I'll thankfully dispense with the dead pedal!
