Custom short shifter

My friends and I took the stock shifter off tonight and hacked about 3 inches off of it and pitched it toward the driver about 10-15 degrees before welding it back together. The mod took about an hour and 15 minutes from start to finish, and best of all, it was FREE. I will post the couple pictures I took soon... all I can say is I have driven about 15 miles on the new shifter and it is amazing. I would guess about a 50% shorter throw, and it is placed perfectly for a person of my height. I'll probably get TWM's bushing kit next week and I will be all set. Just wanted to share in my joy...
