once i got the pedals figured out, i started in on the seats....the back seats the loop that went across the head rest had to come off, cause it interfered with the convertable top going up and down....the seat frame was narrowed and modified to sit/attach to stock mounting points of the camaro... here are some pics of this

then i moddified the front seat brackets and frames to mount them in the car, while keeping them powered... i also moddified the stock 68 camaro trunk latch to make it powered poped, like the GTOs.. also to slide the radio in, it interferred with the a/c assy. so i had to cut a piece out, fab a metal filler, and bond it all together... here are a few pics

That dash is making me jealous.....and I am super proud of my own dash. The dash on those old Camaros was TERRIBLE. Yours wins.

thanks, ii agree the camaro dashes were, cool for the day, but IMO the re-branded GTO interior will take the retro lines to a cool new level...best of both worlds

here is a little more of a update...
moddified the stock GTO master/booster assy., cut the mounting brackets off the stock camaro booster, redrilled a couple of holes, clearanced a little bit, and was able to make it a bolt on deal...then i put a adjustible wilwood proportating valve in there, ran some hardlines, and bled the system....

excellent job , you have some great design and fab skills , as a previous owner of a mildly built 67 rs convertible I will give this very strong suggestion , subfame connectors are a must , my old 67 would twist like a pretzel , when I let the clutch out .

installed a rock valley stainless fuel tank with a walbro 255 pump, we went with the proper sending unit for the GTO...we ran -6 AN line, and used a corvette fuel pressure regulator near the tank...finally got to use my GM fuel connect flare tool too..

also did the steering, i had to do a intermediate u-joint, to get clearance around the header, but it turned out nice... once i had everything welded on, i painted the ujoints black, and kept the nice nickle finish on the steering shaft.i made a bolt on carrier bearing for the shaft to go through...
