More progress . Got the tr6060 cross member done . I sold the mopar crate trans for an auto then went back to manual and the tr6060 was about 3” longer . Also made a battery tray

Looking good man! Funny I didn’t know your handle on Fbbo. We’ve talked on the FB forums. I have a console for my RR too. What are you going to do for the top plate/shifter opening?

 

[penski61]

i cut the center bar out so i should be able to have all the movement needed if not ill cut all the chrome trim out of the middle to see if I can match it up to the 4 speed top plate or ill just buy a 4 speed top plate lol

Nice work. Like where this is going to end up.

I’ve got my shifter in the furthest back position. So I don’t know about using any stock plates. Might have to fab one.

i just moved the console so the shifter is centered in the top plate , my shifter is in the rear position as well and the tr6060 shifter rear position sits further back than a t56 magnum

Well that’s an easy fix! Lol. Nice.

Did you use repop brackets or make some?

That lines up nice. Are toying to have to radius the front at all due to your new tunnel? I’ll have to clearance mine some.
