Get a Tilt-Pistol Grip Shifter handle. I bought one and they are awesome looking buggers!!!!!
Get them from
www.harmsauto.com In all styles and they will even customize them for you.
They simply go on to the existing shifter, no fuss and is very simple to install.
To operate give the handle a decent push down to engage gear and slap away as any other slap-stik mechanisim would do.
Here is what they look like.
