very nice job on the clone!!! i would change the shifter to the original style. that's the only "incorrect" thing that stands out to me. mine doesn't have the correct crossram, rad, inner door panels and i didn't cut the wheelwells as high as they did at hurst, so yours is more correct then mine! a positive to doing that is because its a gate shifter (the hurst duel gate) it's hard to miss a shift! i pull the handle towards the drivers side for 1st to 2nd and push towards the pass side for 2nd to 3rd. oh by the way mine is reverse manual shift. jmo, dave
