creat a photobucket account(Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket) and upload your pictures there. once loaded, save them to the account. after that there are links for the pictures, copy and paste the IMG CODE in this box-the reply box or thread starter box- and then "post" and theyll appear

Another option is to mount an auto floor shifter, I used one from an old Mustang and did some custom work on the linkage, I also had to heat the shifter lever to take the bend out of it because it would hit the bench seat.

thats true you can convert it to auto on the floor...but i personally like it on the column if its an auto....i just dont think they look that good being on the floor unless its a 4 speed.
