Hey there,
Long time since ive posted on your thread, everythings looking good! Ive been patiently waiting for more parts to arrive to get started on my winter projects. And saving (and ALOT of that) for kerosene to heat my shop so i can actually work lol.
Looks good we are going to have to meet sometime this up coming summer.
Check out Ecotecforum.com you should get some interest there as well.

I only have a few more mods to the motor to do this winter, sadly I think I have to wait on cams. Im planning on a front splitter and hood extractor for aerodynamics and to get rid of some of the height. I put Konis/Eibach on it earlier and its getting grand am brakes all the way around, all planned to be done before march, that and ALOT of tuning!
Center console is lookin good

going pretty slow on the centre console .cold out in the garage so a lot of cut and fit and then take inside to glue and dry and back out for more cutting and fitting .starting to look close to what i want .these parts will be painted with a textured finish that i hope will match the rest of the interiour .covering in vinyl might be an option but thats a job i would have to hire out .if i was more ambitious i would make a mold and make it out of fibreglass .all the corners will be rounded off with a router and then sanded smooth .you can make MDF look like plastic if you sand it right .i have one more piece to glue in and then i will figure out the cupholders and PW and PM switches .

thanks .the reason i have to make a new one is the original console wont fit over my modified shifter linkage .and a friend of mine said the first console i built was "redneckish".i had to agree with him .but it did have cup holders .

got some work done on the new centre console .installed the mount for the power windows and mirrors and made the cup holders .next will be cutting the mount holes for the AEM boost guage and oil press. and voltmeter guages.i also will be adding at least two 12 volt outlets .almost ready for paint :
after i paint , i am going to make a padded arm rest that will be kept in place with velcro .this will also hide the mounting screws .
