It's hard to see in the pictures but the factory shift linkage is going to clear the clutch linkage and the chassis braces I added. Straight shot from the column down to the frame. That's another advantage of the van column. The shift linkage runs down the outside of the column away from the engine instead of on the inside like most do. That would have run the linkage right through where the pedals move to.

Even though nothing is bolted or welded yet, there's something about turning the steering wheel and watching the front wheels move for the first time that really feels like progress. I've still got a long way to go but at least I'm making progress.
