just make sure you are not doing this to an original numbers matching 1971 Hemi Cuda convertible with 12k original miles stored in a climate control storage for the past 30 years. You wouldnt do that, would you?  >:(

I'm getting it done!!  ;D I've got everything except seats. There should be the precesion holes on the trans tunnel. 3 or 4 holes around the circle shape pretruding from the tunnel towards the pedals, thats where the linkage goes. As far as placing the column either get photos or just "tack" it down and lay the brackets (3), then weld.
You have about 1-2cm of play for the console so it's pretty sweet.  ;)

Hardest part to find will be seats. If it's a 1970 all most impossible.  ;D If your looking for 70 seats looks like we'll be having a bidding match!!  8)

yes, I did it to my car two months ago.  everything went smoothly, no problem.  still gotta get that column changed though.  hopefully will have time to do that in a week or two.  NZ - just curious.. whats the difference between 70 seats and later?

Taller narrower backs. You can just tell. 1972-74 seats are easy to pick out because there not as high and quite plump. LOL!!  ;D
