20" long pistol grip in A-body

I moved my shifter guts back (between the buckets),and up,and over to the passenger side a tad, and use a stick about 8 or 9" tall; Kinda like a Viper. Yeah all new rods was a given;no biggie.Once you do this, you'll never go back to the factory location. It wouldn't work with a factory bench tho.
