Stealth, what kind of carpet are you using? A molded replacement carpet, or just cut-to-fit? I'm getting ready to order mine, and I'm leaning toward the "Essex" carpet from OPG. Is it charcoal or some other color?
The 4th-gen F-body console looks good in there, I'm planning to do the same.

Looking good I really like the look of that carpet as well. I have always wanted to do a carputer with HPtuners gauges displayed like some guy on here did with his caterham LS swap. For now I just got an aeroforce gauge.

The carpet is this ozite in black: http://www.yourautotrim.com/80wideozite.html
I ordered it a while back, but read about it in the drag racing section on here. A bunch of F-body guys use it to drop weight.
The sound deadener is Damplifier Pro: http://www.secondskinaudio.com/vibra...lifier-pro.php
I was hoping to have the rear back today, but they say another week. My goal is to get the interior finished and the console mod section built over the weekend.

Do you have any idea if your fuel tank solution would work on a 71 el camino? I am in the process of getting all the parts I need to start my swap, and the fuel tank/pump situation is one the last things I need to get sorted out. Thanks

Stealth, did you do any reshaping of the F-body console or the Chevelle's floor to make the console fit better? I've got mine sitting in place in the Chevelle, and I see there's some extra room under the console on each side since the Chevelle's tunnel seems to be narrower than the Trans Am's. It looks like you notched the sides of the console for the seat belts, but I'm wondering what else you might have done (such as along the sides toward the front of the console).
