Very nice to have another option. Is yours the first "commercial" unit done? Lots of questions so hope you or Art will provide many details.

One question that comes to mind right now is how he handled the plastic label on the shift quadrant. That was usually a less than great attempt on most of the Chrysler conversions. Another question is any chance this one could have the electric shift worked in (obviously with a new finger plate for the different pattern) for those many 56 cars that currently have no choice at all.

EDIT: I just looked at some specs and was curious why this one instead of the later heavier version or wouldn't that one fit. I wonder about the lower torque rating.
