    Ugh so many what ifs. For the most part they are real happy to have us there, new hospitals, schools, and roads are coming where otherwise it’s pretty poor in places.


    My shift boot frame is fine, he broke the plastic that holds the frame, I need a new plastic console to fix or rebuild with epoxy or something

    One of three second gens that have done this mod apparently so yeah, I'd say you're correct.

    I think so too. The primary goal was not to sacrifice any cupholders, the secondary was to not trim around the shifter. I got both so long as this boot sticks the way it's supposed to.

    As far as we know I'm the third to do 4 sticks in a second gen.

    Thanks! Getting the sticks aligned is easily the hardest part of the whole mod.

    You can say "dual cases" all day long and no bats an eye. You say "four shift levers" and people get real curious real quick.

    Might look silly but it's working!

    Awesome work! You even kept the size of the factory opening. Fine tuning my sticks and the boot are my final steps. Yours looks so good I need to get motivated to finish mine.

    Way to set the bar high. Did you say a friend did your shift boot?

    Thank you! It was tedious but I'm pretty happy with how it came out

    Yep, gotta have a few friends at a few hot rod shops! If they can't do something they usually know someone who can.
