got a question, welding a new 4spd tunnel......

Put the trans and the shifter in make sure the rods clear and that the shifter is close to centered in the hole . Easier to fix now than later. That's my advise :oops:
100% agree. One of the best ways to successful welding and fabrication is to carefully line things up, check to make sure you have enough clearance where its needed and put some tack welds in, then go back and look for any issues that need to be delt with BEFORE you weld it completely. Don't rush the job and it will be done right.
