Nice man, good job so far. Looking forward to seeing the wheels, too.

What are you doing with the wheels that are on there?
Does the Barton reuse the stock shifter housing?
The problem (bottom-right bolt):
My solution, bending up the "corner" for access:
I also bent up the top-right "corner" so that the Barton shifter's larger/thicker base would fit:
The rubber boot fit back on just fine:
Insulation back on:
All back together, eBay chrome spacer and EPCO shift knob re-used:
I have wrenches with pivoting ends for stuff like that.
Looks good in there
Shit Gabe, I know you can't see that part unless you take it apart but it would never have been a thought in my mind to bend the metal like that. Hell I did everything I could to make sure I didn't scratch the paint on the DS tunnel and I always do what I can underneath to not scratch anything up. I have so much pride in my car, but hey it's your car
Not for nothing but I think is CJ pony parts (I think that their name) or american muscle has a video of how to install this shifter and all they did was pull the shifter towards the driver hard and it tilts it just enough so you can get a socket in there but hey nobody is going to see that anyways LOL
