This is going to be a bad a$$ car. I think you've been working on yours as long as I have.(2004ish?) I wish I had some progress to share.
I bought the car in 2003 and finished building it in 2006. I rushed it and just settled for certain parts. Nice parts, but the cheaper versions, such as Baer Brakes 11" kit when I knew all along I wanted the big, 6-piston kit. Or I had leather Corbeau's which were very nice seats, but I knew I wanted Recaro's. I just didn't want to spend the extra money and was never really happy with the car. Stuff like that is what led me to a 2nd build and to build the car right this time. As the saying goes, I wished I had built it right the first time. Most definately would have been cheaper. But, I was new to the game of building cars and unknowledgeable about alot of things. Still not a pro, but I've learned alot since then. This 2nd rebuild started in 2010 and should have been finished as I put it in the shop for a simple LS & T56 Magnum upgrade. Now, look what has happened.....
Sorry guys, I'm not trying to give you single, small updates here and there, but I'm jumping thru the roof with this one. I finally got my Recaro buckets seats today. I got them from J.J. Custom Interior. With that being said, the quality is great. I had to wait a little longer than expected, but I'm really satisfied with the quality and craftsmanship. They are 100% leather. I chose the diamond pattern on the inserts to kind of keep an old school vibe going on with the interior. I plan to incorporate the diamond pattern into the center of the Fesler door panels as well. I'd also, like to take this time to give a very big thank you to Raj (canrc). Raj played a mediator in me getting my seats....long story. He took time out of his day on several occassions to check on my seats and made sure I got them. Again Raj, I cannot thank you enough.
That diamond pattern looks cool on there. I like where you're going with that.
And it's always nice to see a fellow LG'er help someone else out in a different area with something.

Top notch Marcus!
Thanks guys!! Yeah Ron, there's no way I could have done it without Raj. There were times I couldn't get a return phone call and Raj made sure that call got returned.
Loving the seats. Nice to see something different.
Waiting on some more updates

I like the design.... Good job!
Thanks guys!! Glad you like them. I wasn't too sure about the diamond pattern at first and decided to step out on a limb. I know I'm not the first to do it, but I was sort of hesitant.
