Console's in for the most part. I have to weld in the e-brake mount when it gets here. TIG should be fine.

It will be cleaned up, trimmed to fit the floor, then wrapped in leather. I love interior work, y'all should see my GMC truck's cabin.

It looks like it fits pretty well already.

There's a lot more room to make it contour the floor with carpet much better.

I can't trim the back of the console any more because the front is down all the way. Right now it sit's pretty level. any more out of the back and it will look funny.

Lots in the front will go away, same with the cup holders in the back. Or I add to the sides so it contours the floor. It's not hard to do. I'll take care of it when I get to do the ebrake mount and schtuff.

Like all of the projects I keep, I had the car Toon'd.

Toon-ing is done by Christopher Kuster, a very good friend of mine that holds the paint brush, markers or whatever in his teeth.

The last pic is my friend Chris.

His website is http://www.paintbyteeth.com/

And yes, he's a car guy.

Cool artwork. I am doing bulged fenders and a flare on my Firebird and we measured the other day and I am using a 19x10 wheel with about 5 inches of lip, so I think the backspace is a little under 5 with the pad. I can look back and confirm. We did mockup and are planning on going with 62 inches WMS for the rear end. I know the Camaro and Firebird wheel arches are a little different, but I can show you a picture of how much you would have to add to get the wheel to tuck in.
