Default Shifter And Linkage Installed

This past weekend, I somehow was motivated to do several things to my seems like it's taking forever project. Everything is painted with POR-15, even under the red parts. I did leave the shifter plates, where they contact each other, bare metal. Slapped some lithium grease on everything and it should be good to go.

As always, your work looks good to me. I see several gold colored (cadmium plated) bolts. Are they grade 8 also.

Thanks guys

I've been working on this for ten years now with almost four years on the frame-off. I had to retire early because of a bad heart so I have lots of time to spare.

Eddie : I have always liked the look of your car and would go with black if I didn't live in Tucson. It was white when I bought it and that's what I am going to do again, except with a black stripe down the middle.
Yes, the bolts are all grade 8. I used them almost everywhere along with red threadlock.
