New rims, new seats. Had to cut out my door bars, and lower them.

Mounting the seat low enough so that I dont smash my head is a huge PITA

yea your brackets will look much nicer than mine lol.. i do like the idea that you got there.. i might have to make something similar to that for the passenger side. and i might cutout that hump to keep the seat positioned up a little further. only its a bottom mount so bolting it in will be a pain in the butt.

Thanks... Welp got the seats mounted yesterday... Drivers side was cake compared to the passenger side.. I ended up beating the heck out of the catalytic converter bump in the floor to get the seats roughly the same height... Good times.. also started painting the wheels...(got one done)..lol

no sliders for now, just a bunch of holes for adjustment.

Well the fogs were kinda bothing me asthetically the housings look butt. So I built new ones, and built a vacuum form machine, so I can pull some lenses. Going to pull them tonight, heres the hard part. Should be stock looking when I'm done.

Very nice John. I'm loving the work and progress!

 

You said the cage was bent by Art Morrison in Detroit, right? Do they have the design on-file if I'm interested in purchasing one?

 

I want to bother you on some details regarding the SN95 steering rack swap too, since I've got all that crap sitting next to my Starion. :ph34r: :lol:

welp it kinda worked. I got a little antsy and didn't wait till the paint was fully cured. Plus I cracked the lens taking the part out. Oh well. Its going to look great when its done. I just ran out of plastic. Its been like 5years since I vacuumformed anything..
