That's cool! I had tried some photo-morphing program, but, alas, I wasn't smart enough to make it work. I wanted to do a morphing GIF of the Pig's transformation.
Oh, and 1 of your pics is upside down.
i used imgflip to make it happen. the engine out upside down is intentional its my equivalent of a flag upside down on a boat to signal things have went south lol.

well pulling this console gave me a minute to contemplate how faded out the carpet is i lack the patience to wait for carpet at this point so ill deal with that later.

stealth ratchet shifter installed, still have to figure out how i'm covering that enlarged hole in the console, adding the oversize change tray from dixie while i'm there even though its gonna likely be covered by my cup holder from mikes montes.
likely won't have that dakota digital dash in for the first show this sunday the sender unit for the gearshift for the cluster took way too long to figure how to bolt up with the monstrous trans pan on my car but its on there now.still have to add the shifter grips in there doing the 2 button grip for line-loc and nitrous strange that the 2 button pad doesn't work with the spacers they send with the kit, they only work with the one button spacer lol, such is life, a lil more grinding ain't much at this point tbh.

so finish the cluster and make my cig lighter work so i can charge my phone is about all that's left for spring work.

So the shifter is completely installed, we had to cut a bit more out than i anticipated so i need a shifter boot to cover up the hole i cant find one that is the right size

i couldn't for the life of me find anything from summit or jegs that worked so i went to ebay and found this gem, its supposed to be here monday now. short boot will do the lock out release just fine.

I admire how much you've gotten done to that car in such a short time.

Well I am not ashamed, but you are the man! I really like the direction you are going with the car. My other car (when I get to it) will be built in a similar fashion. Your car is completely you and what you want. I love it!
