Moved Shifter Question

[qcrun98]

Hello All, when I bought my 89 GT an aftermarket shifter had been installed and moved to the location of the ashtray leaving the original shifter location wide open.

Does anyone know of a company that may make an item to cover this location that would look stock? If not I am going to have a piece of sheet metal cut to fit the spot and make it into a custom switch panel with the grill pony from my old 98 stang glued to the bottom.

Please respond with anything you may know. Thank You.

it would be aesy to make and aluminum would look badass.

Get a piece of plastic or plexiglass. Cut to fit, then paint to match!!

That is probably what I am gonna do is use some aluminum or sheet metal and paint either gloss black or gloss red to match the interior. I want to see if anyone makes a part first so I can see what it looks like.

If you felt like, you could make a slopeing contoured assembly that molds into the radio area (it would house the radio and stuff too). THat could look pretty sweet.

That is what my friend did with his 9 sec 89 LX but he made the whole thing his guage cluster and switch panel. Looks really sweet.
