The OG split handbrake set up is one of the worst ever designed, that will make hill starts so much easier but it’s going to be weird doing handbrake turns with your right hand.

Shift rod is real close to the top of the beam now that I have raised the beam up, had to convert it to the 67 style shift lever with the pin in the front, had no room for the original style bush

Looking good Wiz. Do you think that will get enough air up to the cooler?
