Ok, so after much sweat, cursing, and ALMOST throwing tools...i finally got the interior buttoned up after getting the shifter and boot installed. So, what do you guys think?

Havent got to drive it yet. I'm installing my ported heads this weekend, so wont be till next week sometime before i fire it up and get it driving. Changing out the fluid for the AMSOIL as well, but just running it through the pattern it feels good...i'll have to get used to not having the reverse lockout...

Looks good! You are gonna love it! I have the Hurst in my '90 and the engagement is great with not much effort. Some people complain about it being too stiff, or too notchy but I love the feel. The short throw is very noticeable over the stock one too. I installed mine while the transmission was out for a clutch, I cannot imagine doing it inside the car.

Here is a picture of mine, I haven't seen to many others with a black ball, most pick white (that I have seen):
