You are even using the Vette airbags

Looks like it's going to be a pain in the *** to etch and paint all that raw metal.

"What is the deal with the interior, is that brace really going through the seat or does just appear that way? No brace......but the dash will be set very far back.....thats the only weird setback i have.....i am redesigning the rear framing a little because the seat needs to come back a little more....just for comfort...."

"AND YES WE ARE CHANGING THE REAR FRAME TO MAKE MORE ROOM FOR THE SEATS...."

I don't think it's just a matter of room for the seats and comfort. More like you've got a 90 degree angle of steel pointed directly at your spine, and if you have a serious accident you'll dearly wish you hadn't.

I hope before this project is through you do something to change the SHAPE of the front part of the rear frame. A paraplegic visionary is still a visionary, but it'd be better if you didn't need hand controls to drive your chimera.

How hard will it be to do a clutch swap? I'm guessing that you're getting close if you're starting body work?

hell I don't think monster garage can compete with this project. this thing really is a monster. I would **** if i saw a civic pull up to me with that sound, hell even when it idles it's loud.

question what about chassis bending think that could get in the way cause of so much power? if you ever get the power to the ground that is.

also one more question was the wiring easy or hard?

Dude, your honda has been impregnated by a Vette.

Seriously though I admire the work you put into that.

One suggestion. Super quiet exhaust with electric cut outs.
