How's that shifter work ? This is an automatic right ? Always wondered if its worth getting. Cheers !
scored a set of NIB red ford 9mm wires for $20 and a NIB MSD cap and rotor for $15. Also, installed the new leather shifter boot. BTW, turns out it wasnt a cracked radiator- the lower hose clamp needed a little tightening. That's what happens when you are on your back at 1am wrenching..lol

Lots of nice shiny things! I have to admit, I'm envious of those cc plates. Very nice.

Thanks Allen, I got them during one of the MM semi annual sales for lik $210 or something... They do look a lot nicer than the black ones if you are into the bling bling

Yes its a B&M Hammer shifter for an AOD. To be honest, its ok but its the only aftermarket shifter for an AOD that doesnt require cuting up/fabbing the center console to make it fit. It's a rachet shifter that at time is a little sloppy. I don't race my car so its not an issue, but if I did race I'd get a quarter stick. That being said, anything is better than the stock shifter.
I don't know what else you'd be looking to change too - but Holcomb MOTORSPORTS makes a mount to mount quarter sticks etc in the stock location .

Description for the quarter stick reads "works with two, three and four speed transmissions." All the way at the bottom..
I wouldn't trust much i read on corral. Plate or not, it should work.

Besides man, I've run a quarter stick. If I went auto, that's what I'd have. If I had to fab a bracket or a console bezel, whatever. To heck with crappy shifters.

@mikestang63, gotta ask: stock seat upholstery, or aftermarket?
I've got sport seats, but in the red tweed, and they need "refreshing" in some way. If I don't go with something like a stock replacement, something like your seats would fit the bill nicely.

I bought the seats from a wrecked car from MPS in Ga, but I assume the leather is a kit from TMI or another vendor that reupholsters the stock frames. I lucked out as they are perfect without a tear or scratch, and dont have any lean.

I've decided on jet black. I wanna get a set of 03 4 lug cobras in black. Would look sick.
Out of the garage today to clean it up a tad and try and chase down a vac leak
On the fence about ditching the smoked headlights

I'd leave them as is. Looks great on a black car IMO.Out of the garage today to clean it up a tad and try and chase down a vac leak
