Actually the guys at Village auto did it and that is what they used.

So I took the car to a local cruise night. People really seemed to like the simplicity of the car.

Marty, are those down bars in the engine bay custom or a part#? and what do they tye off too? just the firewall? cause i like em.....

Oh, the rest of the car looks nice to....lol.

And yes, those are the Recaro's to get, I have Recaros, not those, and there is a huge difference....mine dont have enough lumber support, auto-x ok, trac, way no.

btw, just bought the lady pamela a "liv-lust" full suspension, for fathers day. She said, "what would you like for fathers day?", i said "to go buy you a mountain bike..."and thats what we did. And shes stoked.

Next up...

I wanted to change up the feel on the inside of the car so the plan is to experiment with steering wheel and steering wheel dish so I
ordered up a new Grant Steering wheel in Suede. I like the feel and the new locations of the wheel. However I may consider one with
less dish next. But for the time being this should work fine.



Okay, I finally ordered up a set of header studs and let's not talk about the bolts that are currently on the motor. Remember the 1st
version of the car was to be bolt together and so is the second version. Lets call version "Attention to Detail" phase.





Okay, it happened... "the might as well" since I am here thing.

My goal is to quiet down the inside of the car so I called the guys at DEI and ordered more BOOM MAT. Which of course meant
that I need to remove the Seats, Carpet and Tiger Cage and of course I might as well order a few 12 point ARP bolts to put back
in the Tiger cage.



It's a good thing I have good company while I am working in the garage. Not sure why I didn't get a new dog sooner even though they
can't talk it's nice to have someone just hanging with you. His favorite spot in under the brake pedal.

The first thing I need to do is isolate the interior from the trunk which should help reduce the sound from the Edelbrock electric fuel pump
and the general noise from an old car trunk. My plan is to make patterns of all of the opening and create close-outs with a thin high density
board and then line-x over it so it looks like part of the rear firewall.





And of course in short order my garage was full of cars and parts.

Thanks guys the down bars are custom. The bolt into the firewall and bolt into the frame rail.







So as ya all know I love these seats and I have been looking at these for a long time. Here are some of the ideas I have been considering.



Considering using these for my upper & lower radiator clamp.



Stealing this idea from Porsche.





Since I would like a 3 Point seat belt in red similar to this.



I'm looking at having Morris custom make me a set in red.





Need install my Kicker iPod controller.



More stuff from DEI to reduce some of the interior & engine bay heat.





Don't worry not going this crazy



Considering padding and leather wrapping the cage.

Some cool details incorporated into the rest of the interior.

And I love this finish and I am considering doing this with the center console and lower dash.
