After a lot prying, cutting and bending I was able to make this trans tunnel cover for my StaK conversion. Using a sheet of 18 gauge steel and a steel 3 speed shifter cover I compilled this. Pleased w/ results, thanks for those who gave tips on prior post. I tack welded it together and had a local shop weld it for me.

I'll be out tomorrow most of the day if I'm not too busy I'll drop off the welting for that bad boy in the early evening. Looks great in the rig though!

Click to expand...

There's a bit left to it - wire up trans cool fan to relay and tstat, rad aux fan wiring, tune new carb, tweak kick down arm and install, throttle linkage tweeking due to higher rise intake, clean welds on tunnel cover and paint/ install, under floor supports are interferring w/ one of my seat holes - fix that, put seats in, drain water and install 50/50 coolant and prolly a few more things I am missing.

thanks for the compliments. Its fun to finally do something that turns out pretty good w/ out too much effort or repeat work.
