Thanks for all the comments guys. Unfortunately nothing to really update from yesterday. I got the drivers seat side seat mounted and made a few changes. I started on the center console, but nothing really pic worthy yet. On a good note, I found some manual seat sliders for the fronts which are pretty close to the length I needed to bolt right on. Will have to drill a couple new holes but I think they will work great.

Todd....thanks for keeping me in mind. Not really close enough yet to think about the rotisserie. Unlike last time, I want to make sure everything that's needs to be done is done before flipping it.

Got some work done on the rear console.

Started with bending some pieces of round bar

Tacked them to the car where I wanted them to be

After some more work, I ended up with this

As with the front console, I plan on wrapping it with sheet metal and then wrapping the whole thing in leather or vinyl. Next up I will be working on the sides of the rear seats.

Keep it coming, lol....You're several steps ahead of me with what I need to do. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result on those seats. You gave me the idea to splice in a camaro section on my Firebird to fit the Ride Tech gas cap and you happened to pick up the same set of seats; thanks for posting all this info. I had thought about cutting the foam on my rears, but it was going to be from the bottom. It never occured to me that sectioning them like you did would be an option. Great Work!!:trophy-1302:
