Took the wagon to fetch some groceries, parked next to a 2nd Gen Firebird. Came back to find this under my wiper...

So far this weekend. Finished carpet and interior. Am getting ready to install new seatbelts and then put bucket seats in. Garbage run first on a muddy Georgia red clay road first. But welcomed much needed rain here. Next will be thinking about a center console around the Hurst shifter.
Ideas???

Here's a pic for ya....i found a monte console in a yard car several years back in darn near perfect shape. All i did was notch the shift plate enough to clear the hurst plate, drilled holes to mount the hurst plate, raised the rear of the shifter with 1" round stock to clear the armrest when in 1st gear. I've yet to paint it since I'm nowhere close to interior assembly, but you get the idea.

How's the quality of them belts from seat belt planet? I have them on my "to get" list, so some real world opinion is great instead of web reviews.

Maybe a second gen camaro automatic console? Might not work with the shifter offset to the left.

I think he just recently swapped to a Muncie 4 speed but I may be mixed up.

Seats in, powder coated black door thresh holds in. 6 more degrees of timing since trans change. tetrafluoroethane infusion for drivability enhancement. Carb adjust. Put floor mats in and done for day.
Have plan for shifter boot. Jury still out on console
Cold beer in hand. Nice salad with leftover killer sirloin steak. Cajun crab dip with chips.
All good in SW Georgia
