Arrow wtb ~ 65-66 manual center console

Hey y'all,
I'm converting my 65 LeMans to manual shift and need a decent driver condition manual center console. I have a spare auto console, so if a few parts are missing, I may be OK with it.
Which leads to a question maybe someone can help with....................

The Parts Place add on Epay says you can convert an auto console to a manual .......
is this actually feasible? Would it be fairly correct?
What manual specific parts would I need? If anyone has said parts to do this conversion, I'd obviously be willing to buy those instead of a complete deal.
I really don't have access to a manual console to compare and have a better idea how it's done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated......

Thanks y'all!

I replied to your post in the tech section regarding how to cut out an automatic console to make a manual console.

If you are looking to buy a manual base, I have a fully restored blue manual base. What color are you looking for?

Thank you for the offer Terry, and thank you for the info in the tech thread.
Jack P. is selling me a manual console that I can use for reference to modify an auto console that I have for a spare. I like to tackle things on my own, this way I can learn some new things and save some $. I think a fully restored console would look to nice for my car since it's more of a driver showing typical wear and tear through the years.
Thank you for the offer though! But if I happen to wreck my auto console..........I may have to take you up on your restored one!
