          It's very cool, but I hope there is some serious foam for those seats. There will be a cup holder, right? I love my cup holder

              Will it have a cup holder? We're not totally Uncivilized, you know... ;) I'm currently working on the center console with at least 1 cup holder, (gotta have a place for my coffee!), integrated nitrous controller/window switch, AND a USB port for iPhone/iPad charging.

              Why? "Because Street Car" :D
              (hey! that's sig worthy right there!)

                    Are those headers bolted up? Ground clearnance can be a killer at DW.

                      No.. I was in the process of taking them back out when I snapped the pic. They tuck up against the floor pretty tightly (for 2-1/8" Hookers anyway)

                        More progress... got paint on it (satin black!)


                        Carpet mostly in, and test fitting the center console:


                        Started on the wiring.. rear lamp and trailer harness complete (the lamp harness is tucked under the trunk lip out of site):


                        Forward harnesses (2 of 3) laid out (cooling fans, water pump, headlamps and vacuum pump):


                        Work work work! less than 60 days to go!

                        (EDIT) - almost 11,000 views? Wow! now I'm REALLY feeling the pressure to finish! Oh, and thanks!

                                It's a 'glass universal "musclecar" console made by MCI. Very similar to the OE console (they make those too).

                                Great quality, but don't be in a hurry if you order one.. I was told it was "in stock, ready to ship", but it took nearly a MONTH to arrive (and was still curing in the box, judging by the smell when I got it).
