Does the cup holder come apart so you can make an "billet" aluminum insert that will house/cover all you current and future levers?
I was hoping for this at first but unfortunately it is a one piece molded console.

When you go to a triple setup, will you move the shifters forward to the tranny  so you have

triple shifters for your triple boxes ?
The idea is to go entirely away from the traditional shifter arrangement, perhaps use a cable (easiest) or electric solenoid (very cool, but after having used the factory electric t/c shift solenoid it takes a comparatively long time to shift and you don't get that positive physical gear change acknowledgement). 

Hey Mike,

Incredible write-up!  Love the photos.
Thank you! A lot of this has been rushed but once I get caught up I'll actually start trying to take better quality pictures.

Have you calculated the fuel mileage by the gallons of gas pumped and recording the mileage on the odometer.... or just going by the instrument panel?
I track MPG for my vehicles by phone app and yes they are 100% accurate to the MPG dash readout. That said, what I have not done is tracked miles by GPS to verify the odometer. The speedometer is (was) accurate to my GPS.
