nice seat! how much?
also, believe it or not, that armrest weights 7 lbs!!!! 50resto.com has a little plastic delete plate for it for like $20, not too bad at all compared to what we pay for hoods, rims, etc to save weight.
also, love the paint choice for the roll bar. is it one of those hammered metal look paints in a rattle can?
keep up the good work!

it's 7 lbs for just the armrest between the seats, unless you're talking about the entire console from the dash back.
tirefryin...i like the location of the shifter but how is the position when it's all the way back? love those seats too. mine sat up high in the rear also after i did the rearend swap, but mostly because the springs weren't rotated in the correct direction. put the car back in the air and rotated them 180* and the car sits much lower now. i'm getting ready to put on a set of rear coilovers to see how low i can get it shortly. keep us posted it's coming along nicely!

Whats up with the k-member???
I thought you were going to use the stock one.Was there some sort of problem with the stock k-member,like getting motor mounts to fit or clearance issues???
What k-member is that for 4.6 or 5.0?
What motor mounts are you using?
