It shifts SO SMOOOOOTH!!!

Thats exactly what I am working on .. I've got the shift rod welded up with the U-Joints and used a Bug shift rod shortening kit on one end of the shift rod for adjustability. By the angles involved, I don't see how putting a Z bend in the rod would work, let alone shift smoothly ... the 2 u-joints are definately the way to go.
Project looks great !
