What would be the best way to clean this up? Eventually I am going to convert this to a auto on the column. As you can see from the pic it used to be a 3 on the tree. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Ok let me add this to the post as well. Lets say I am going to convert it to a auto on the tree. What all would I need to do this? Is there retailer that sells the entire kit? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I was wondering...why convert to column shift? Any automatic can be installed with a floor shift without making the opening look like a rat chewed the floorboard. After cleaning up the opening, a light-guage sheetmetal cover plate could easily be fabricated and installed for a really nice look. Good luck with your project whatever route you choose.

I prefer the the column vs the floor for a automatic. Now if it was a stick shift then thats a different story smile

skokie, speedway sells a kit to hook up your tranny to a column shift. I can look tonight for a part #. I think the kit was about $35.00. What ya going to do with the Lokar floor shifter? How long is it?
