I couldn't wait....

Looks good. It should work real fine with the bench seat. I have always been more for the short shifters myself. That is why I went with the e-body pistol grip in my Dart. But yeah I have to agree on the Ed Roth look too. I remember way back when seeing a shifter that almost went to the roof. If I remember right it was in a 65 or 66 Mustang. Always thought it was cool.
