Bench seats & floor shifter?

I think that looks great Badsport. Like I mentioned, I really do like the bench. What are your thoughts since making the switch.
I like it.

Any advice or thoughts on the process or outcome?
It was a pretty straight forward install.

Is the height of the shifter comfortable?
It's OK, I should have moved it back just a little, and I may yet.

Do believe it improved your driving experience?
Oh yeah, I like the ratchet much better.

Is a cable used in lieu of linkage so you can basically mount anywhere?
Yes, cable.

Any welding or just cutting? Sorry for the question barrage.
No welding, no cutting. Just the drilling of 4 holes to mount the shifter and one larger hole to run the cable through.
