Yea a lot of sweet options on this car. The steering wheel was green many years ago lol. I plan to save all the interior and look for a 1980 to put it in. Bucket seats with center consul, all green. I plan to run the TRZ steering colum in this car with the detachable wheel so I can get in lol

Got my tubs cut and started on the metal work. I decided not to go aluminum. Just easier to tack everything for me.

Abodies.com They sell on eBay too. This pan is damn close. I'm impressed. I think I paid like $80-85.
