So the first thing you would need to do is find a manual that would fit. \r\nI would start with c6 Corvette parts as they're ubiquitous and fairly simple, and also are about the right shape, but who knows. Whatever you do, you're going to be reengineering the whole thing. And that's just the mechanical side.
