Title: help with a hurst shifter...
Post by: screaming306 on October 28, 2007, 10:56:21 PM
I have already installed the hurst pro V-matic shifter in my car. I got 3 complete center consoles to use as a templet. Has anyone tried cutting the factory console to fit around this type of shifter???? I would be interested in any ideas on how to do it. Or please post a photo of yours so i may get some ideas of my own. thanks..

Be careful those 83-84 interior parts are hard to find. They console shifter bezel is rare 83-84 only. So take your time and double and triple check your mesurements be you cut.

well down here i have found 3 in the local junk yard and took them for my pratice before i use my nice one. it just doesn't look right though. i will take a picture for you guys to see and give me your ideas. Might even go with some other brand console that starts after the shifter. please lend me your thoughts, any and all ideas are welcome.
