LOL .. ya thanks Blake I know, but I figured you must have planned this out if your going to use the OEM mustang controllers or make your own somehow... this is way outside my knowledge base and I am very interested as I have an opportunity to get a set and have no idea how to complete the electrical on these.

Cheers
Steve

Sheck- I'll be sure to grab pics on that as we get to that point.

Here's the front tire getting fit to find wheel back space. Between the ExtReme frame's huge clearance and the wide fenders there's lots of room in there for fat meats. This is a big tire, crazy how it gets swallowed up in there!

Also in the works is the preliminary metal work to create a flush mount windshield. The back window will get this treatment too to help smooth things a bit. Note also the rust repair near the drip rail went well.

Getting back to the truck project you can see where we're headed with the steering column and firewall to support the ExtReme chassis and LT4 package. This thing's going to be a sweet driver!

Here you can see the mods necessary to run a modern transmission and enough engine set back. As mentioned this truck is getting fitted with an 8 speed transmission which is really tall compared to other GM automatics. Even so, the height of the tunnel isn't too obtrusive and will make for a nice base for a custom console.

Working through some more fab work on the interior, we had to rebuild the window opening so that it accommodated the flush mount glass and looked good on the inside.

We're using late model Mustang GT seats which have all kinds of cool gizmos built it which we plan to have remain functional, pic shows the bottom of the seat. To get these seats sitting right Jeremy's currently working on custom seat mounts. More coming...
