Paddy,
I have a similar project with the trimatic.
Could you tell me the type selector indicator you used in the first pic?

Cheers

Doesnt look any different to what most old holdens this day would look like, not often you find one with a decent floor in it.  Looking good though, what shifter are you going to use???

[paddyfc58]

not sure what shifter im going to use yet, was considering a b&m shifter.

Paddy, Ive got one in mine with a cable, thing is you can mount it any where on the hump you like.  I just have to find someone to make a modified boot and surround for it

As a current serving member of the Airforce I am keen to see the work you put into getting the old girl back in working order.
