Eric,
Great ideas! I had hidden kill switches save my cars in the past. I'd come
back to the car and find the ignition switch busted out by a screwdriver.
Cheaper to replace the switch than the whole car! I found another way to
frustrate a thief - remove the clutch master cylinder (hopefully I'll have
it working soon).
Question #2: How difficult was it to drill and tap the frame for the 5-speed
mount on your '66? I've been thinking about doing that. I noticed the 4-speed
mount is front of the X between the top and bottom of the frame, while a 5-speed
is bolted in front of the X from the bottom.
