Me too someday before the snow flies again. I haven't been super motivated lately.But last few days I've put in some bench time.I scratched some front c-arms.  I started on the trans tunnel/ctr console.The console will be molded in to the rearwall/sub-enclosure.  Thanx for lookin' Jeremy |

Thanx Buck. More progress made in the past couple days.I finished the tunnel.I still need to smooth it out and start on the stereo enclosure that it ties into.  I got rid of the vent windows.In the pic you will see the difference between the stock and modified piece.  I started to test fit the dash.Needs to be shimmed a little to fit perfectly.  Thanx for lookin' Jeremy |

Got a little more done to the interior tonight.Even though you won't really see it I build a sub box behind the seats.Here is the start of it.  This shows the face on it with the subs mocked up.  The skull is going to be turned into a switchbox for my airride.  I am using the seats out of an AMT 1966 Nova Rides issue.I still need to clean up a few areas.Next I'll be building door panels. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy |

Found a different set of seats in my parts box that I am going to use instead of the ones out off the Nova.  Started on the door panels tonight.  This is just a rough lay out.The design might change still. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy |

I think they look good. I am a big fan of the K.I.S.S. method of building.
