Well finally got to the garage today to install the center console.
Not a bad result for my first time welding, metal shaping, and upolstering from scratch.
Would definitly do some things differently but that's for next time.
Love the shifter & bezel.

Got my mockup tires in.
Big thanks to Bret & Greg over at Ridetech for putting up all their old testing tires for sale.
Picked them up for $20 a piece. Wasn't sure what size I wanted to go with but now I know.
These are BFG KDW 275/35/18's and I think I will go with 285/40/18 for the rear and 245/40/18 for the front.
Now I just have to find a set of wheels that I like.

Just finished putting in the Russell speed bleeders and bleeding the brakes.
WOW!!!! Are they easy to use. This is the first time I have used them. I think it took me about 15minutes to bleed all four corners.
I'm sold.
