Install - Part V
As things wrapped up with the metalwork, I added some sound deadener material to the inside of the transmission tunnel to help with road noise. I will now move on to glue and carpet the sides of the box and will then install a new black loop carpet on the inner floors while trimming around the shifter box. I also found that by cutting down the original SS3 boot, I could install the smaller B4 boot ring. This will provide a clean and correct SS3 boot finish, but on a smaller footprint.
Hoping this helps the next person who wants to install a vintage shifter in a 69 Camaro. More pics when all is finished up next week.
Sound deadener added to cancel out road noise.
It also helps to reduce the amount of heat that transfers up through the floor.
Here's a cut down SS3 shifter boot bought from Summit Racing and fit with a B4 ring from another shift boot I had laying around.
Once the carpet is wrapped around the box, this will provide a nice clean upright finish for the boot.
