What time are you starting this? I need to do an oil change before going on the road again, so I may have to do that this evening. I really want to see how the shifter swap is done.

We are starting at 8AM but I'm sure it will take most of the day as we are doing 2.

Thanks, but I got my oil change done this evening. I'll be there whenever.

Default Revive this thing, more cars for Hurst

It's raining like heck but the UPS man made it through, just like in the commercial. My Hurst shifter is here and ready for an install day in John's wonderful garage. Can we get another mod day arranged?

Has anyone else gotten their shifter yet? Mojo, I'd love to be there the same day as you.

As usual MAD's price is beyond ridiculous, $199.95. I thought I paid too much through the forum store at Zip, but it's not that much. Summit is $129.95 and they say it's ready to ship now.

I'm going to the NOVA Crab Cruise on Sunday April 3 but other than that I am open to any day you plan.
