I always wanted a 4 speed convertible- now I have one. Had it sent out to the restoration shop in February and got it back tonight. It is sweet!
(and yes I added a '63 console-needed somewhere to throw my wallet and stuff)

Very nice Al...hey us 62/63 guys need those consoles..lol
 
Nice work! Loved the 4 speed in the '64 Dodge however, I really like the 727 now. These cars a great no matter the platform!!!

The whole thing cost around $7500 Canadian dollars (5k US)
That included the purchase of everything listed and the labour to do all the work.
It included:
Rebuilt/restored: tranny, pedals, 4 speed steering column.
Brand New :driveshaft, shifter, shifter rods, hump, clutch, flywheel, 3:55 posi, carpet, shifter boot and trim ring and tranny mount .
I also bought new guage cluster lense and had the dash out to replace that.

Worth every penny
 
The car was built to be a "what if they slipped one out the door" -273 Commando 4 speed B Body
( my built 360 looks the part)

Nice! I've thought about doing a 4 speed conversion, but as you can tell by my avatar I'm kind of fond of my push buttons,
 
I had it out today- a 4 speed is so much fun. Sounds so much better when you can keep the revs up through shifts
 
Very cool, I can't wait till my 4 speed conversion is finished(started for that matter) it's just sitting in box's waiting
