[DuaJudges]

I hope this hasn't been answered already. I am performing a concours restoration on a 69, 4 speed Judge. The car was converted to automatic some time in the early 80's for drag purposes. Thankfully, I have the original tranny and engine block. Anyway, when they converted the trans. and added the automatic (Pontiac stuff), they altered the hole in the transmission hump. Here is my question...what should the hole in the hump look like to accomodate a 4 speed car? I was getting ready to order the 4 speed tunnel cover and I saw it described as "...68-72 four speed tunnel cover w/out console..." Does that mean that console cars did not have a tunnel cover? My car was ordered with a console. Does anyone have any photos of an unmolested tunnel without carpeting?

I have heard that as the cars came down the line, the line workers would cut a hole in the tranny with anything that was near them and that the actual hole is very irregular. Is this true? While I want my car to be accurate, I don't necessarily want it to include sloppy or imprecise practices that might have been used in '69.

Salt on the roads already in Wisconsin! Its too early, where is our Pontiac Summer aka Indian Summer?
