    I have had some snags along the way, a few small setbacks. I have got it running sweet ,I went and decided to run my B&M cable inside the car, and then out the Tunnel,Perfect fit. I have no header or drive shaft issues this way. 73 mustang high back buckets go in tomarrow. Road test Thursday. Taking my time ,I want every thing just right. (ever find your self just starring at your car, for Hours? and over thinking everything?) Thats me....... Kirk :idea:

    Wow that sure is pretty, hope cable last a long time cause tearing out all the interior wont make you very happy.

    You must be using a star shifter because my mega shifter the cable came out the front

    I took my time to really think out placement of the cable. I am hoping that since it is inside the car it will last much longer. We will see. I also replace Radio and a the complete speaker system while the insde was out this weekend sounds Great. I Order Carpet for the Inside from STOCK INTERIORS just a few mins ago, so I should see it soon.:thumbs2:

    Wow ... the floors are nice in that car. From what I can see, that car is a cherry.

    Is that car from Michigan originally?

    Thanks for posting pictures ... I think you just saved me some headaches regarding possibly switching to a cable shifter.
