Not rocket surgery, rocket science.

I am sure you understand that my comment about tie wraps and duct tape was me being facetious.

"Do it right, or don't do it at all".

Hah, that was funny ! BTW, those shift rods are from a Hurst Super shifter also , I have one in my C-3 and had to cut the floor around the shift boot. Love the way it shifts though. It's a race car .

I did just that, in 1970...did I do something that others forgot to do?

You say rocket science, I say potato....

Yes, I could see the bulge in your cheek caused by your tongue.... even all the way out here on the left coast.
