Thank you for your responses and I sorry I was not more specific in my initial post. This setup is for a floor shifter using an after market shifter. This setup 200cid with a c4 came out of a 66 mustang.
 i took a couple of picks. Is it either #1 or #2?

I need assistance with the linkage connection on my C4 transmission. The only diagram I can find is showing the gear selection lever on the transmission with the park location all the way forward towards the motor. if that is correct then how does the shift lever connect? Shouldn't the gear selection lever be all the way back towards the tail of the transmission?

Thanks for the advise guys.
I do not mind paying to get it done correctly I just do not want to over pay and if I can save some money along the way even better.  I also like it when someone can recommend a company.
Has anyone media blasted their own car? If so what equipment did you use.
Also has anyone ever used the equipment from Harbor Freight?

Thank you guys for the help. I can not believe that it would be this hard locating this part. No one seems to have one. I guess I am going to have to make it. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a sheet of sheet metal 30” X 30” in the dfw area?

Thanks for the advise. I have been using the sheet metal screws they work really well when pulling the panels together.

Ok I made a rookie mistake. I need to find out if there is a drawing with the dimensions of the fender apron. The dimension across the engine bay. I have a 66 convertible. I cut the entire front clip off and set it aside.  Forgot I did not take dimensions and got rid of it.
Any help would be great.

As you can see I have the new aprons on but they are just held on with screws.

Thanks wsinsle, I have those drawings. I need the dimensions of the upper half of the car. The entire engine bay. I do not know anyone who has a mustung just sitting in the drive way or I would just take my measurements from that.

Celebration time After 8 months of first being stupid and thinking I could not do the work myself. Paying someone a lot of money for nothing. Thinking I was getting myself into something that was way over my head. After bring my 66 convertible home and began cutting out all the rust (and believe me there is a lot) Today a welded on my first new part!!!!Installed a new torque box and front frame rail….I would include pictures but I am afraid to show you guys my garage and my welding techniques. I am in awe of the pictures that you guys post on here. I am know where near as talented and knowledgeable as the members on the is site but I am trying. Thanks for all the help and the encouragement.

Does anyone need a 4 lug rear end? This came out of a 66 convertible, drum brakes? I do not know what the gear ratio is but it was working great.  Free to a good home, just come and get it. North Fort Worth.

I am doing a complete frame up resto. I am to the point where I need to replace the rocker panels on both sides. Do I need to replace the floor first? I have a complete floor pan.

What kind of primer do I use after welding on a new part. I am going to be painting it later. Does it matter if it is on the interior or exterior?

The car has already been stripped down, motor, transmission etc. I live in north Fort Worth. The car was at a shop having the work done but I have run out of money to pay someone so I am going to attempt the project myself. I have never taken on a project this large before but I figure everyone has to start somewhere. I have been researching this project for some time and this particular project I can not find a video about. Funny there are a million on how to replace the cowl just not any on how to replace a complete rocker panel.
Thank you for taking the time to help out.
I know I am going to have a big job on my hands but what the heck.

I will not be able to post any pictures until this weekend. I am going to attempt to do this project off of just jack stands. I can not afford a rotisserie.
I am also replacing the entire floor, frame rails front and back. Torque boxes, front and rear.
The car is rusted bad but it is all mine.
