Previous owner handywork stories

bought my '66 Barracuda, knew that it was a 3-on-the-tree changed to 4-speed. Didn't like the shifter stick (was a B-body console) when we went to change it out I leaned on the "hump" and found out - there was no hump - right carpet, 2 holes cut in the tunnel, rods between carpet and tunnel!

it gets worse!

tracked down a hump, new boot, trim rings, sent it out to the body shop, next day I get a call - PO had put in new front floor pans - and just pop-riveted then in :(

just slightly over budget, now I'm PO'd ;)
