Sprang for Hookers 1 7/8 in. GBody swap headers (70101506-1HKR) Overall very satisfied. Fit is very good and without interference.

Thanks for the update. Those headers look like they fit excellent. Nothing like an engineered solution.

Any updates? Hard to believe it's been 6 months.

Wow it has been awhile! That's why I like you G-Body guys, always keeping me on task! Been slow going between work and a chilly Chicago Spring. I have done some little stuff here and there....

Started to reinstall the front facia and wheel-wells

Bought a drip-tray (Exciting I know!)

After I broke the first one trying to bend the arm I fabricated a bracket for the accelerator pedal to sit on.

Currently I'm starting to develop a plan for the shifter. I had bought a B&M Megashifter (80690) a long time ago and since have had a change in taste but, i have it so I'll probably just use it. Optimally I would like it to fit under the factory console. With the modified trans tunnel I may have to whip up a bracket.

Megashifter install update! I'm trying my best to fit this thing as cleanly as possible into the factory console. I had previously modified the trans tunnel so I fashioned me a bracket out of some scrap metal I had laying around to accommodate the shifter.
