I was out doing some shopping and my hubby decided he was going to surprise me and start installing my shifter today! I am super excited -it is alot different than the other summit shifter we had before and didnt like. It sits alot taller like the old school hot rods. I love it and cant wait to start driving it, even tho I am still learning :yes:! He is a wonderful husband for helping me work on my car, had to brag :thumbsup:Wanted to post the pics but I cant find the dang folder---maybe tommorrow:confused:

Stacie, i guarantee ya you'll like the Hurst better than the Summit just because of quality. i saw the pic Jon posted and my only recomendation would be to get a shorter handle in the future. it'll make the "throw" much shorter and more comfortable...

it makes me glad to hear you're happy. congrats ta you & hubby :thumbsup: ;)

Here are the pics. The handle is a little short I think it need to be well above the dash with a skull shifter knob:beers:http://images45.fotki.com/v1426/photos/1/1361464/6629353/hurstbackview-vi.jpg

That came out real nice. Cut some of that riser part out of the handle and weld it back together until you can get a new handle.
