Over the past month or so, I've been able to cut out the old floorboards and install the new ones.



Next up - fab a trans tunnel

I also reached out to Aaron Oberle aka Project "G-Velle" and he was nice enough to sell me his old harness bar from the "G-Velle". Since he upgraded to the awesome "Tiger Cage", he wasn't going to use the harness bar.

Here's the harness bar in Aaron's 65'



I'll work on getting it mounted in my car, once the floorboards are completed...

Thanks again, Aaron! It's going to a good home.

I was able to spend some time in the garage yesterday:

I finished fabricating the transmission tunnel and got it welded in. I made the panel on top removable, so if I needed to, I can remove the panel and get to the four bolts holding the shifter to the transmission.









A little grinding, seam sealer and paint and the floors will be ready for sound deadening.

Next up harness bar install and then seat mounts...

Tonight I was able to get the harness bar welded in. Thanks Aaron for the information on my height making a difference on how high to mount the bar. I mounted it at your specs, but once I get the seats mounted, I can adjust the bar if I need to.

2-8-15 I was able to get the driver's seat bolted in. The seat track for the passenger's seat will have to be replaced (track won't slide)
These seats will work great for the first stage of the build.
