the rear seat needs to be split up. the center section widen, and the back of the seats shorten by 6 in. this will line up the seats with the package tray. I am also looking at putting bulges in the package tray to contour the seats. I will post pics of everything I do.

Frame is still on the car. The boss(Wife) has put my car fund on hold. So I am trying to get things done that require little or no $$. I will have the brackets for the seats cut up and welded and hopefully test fitting this weekend. I am also working with a company to do a rear bracket to work with the 12 bolt and also have a internal e brake. I know their is at least one company that is doing it but again $1000 to have a e brake seems a bit high. I will post pics once I get them and test them out.

Due to cash flow I had to put the build on hold. Well I am finally getting the spare frame to get sand blasted and picking up a couple of low $$ items. I will be coating the floors with por-15 over the next couple of weeks. After that I will be adding some r-blox as a sound deadner. The wife gave me $600 for fathers day under one condition to spend every penny on the car. I may listen to her this one time. I did how ever get this little thing, if anyone wants one let me know.
So at this point over the next month will have the frame and the front and rear suspension on it. a lot of pics to come.
