Anyone have any pics of the dash after you installed the 10pt wolfe cage with the bar behind the dash. I would like to see what it looks like finished.
Thanks
Alan

nice setup there dope. very clean and i finally got to see a 4th gen f-body without a console in it. that made up my mind that it looks as good as it does in a 60's-70's car. i'm definately ditching mine.

later,
Dave

Thank's for the pics. I just finished removing the entire interior and dash. Time to do some welding and install it all back in. I just noticed your steering wheel, since I deleted the passenger side air bag I would like to do the same thing. What model is that and wher can I get one.
Thank's
Alan

It's actually one of those $40 ones you get at Oreilly's. The hub needed is off of a full size chevy truck if I remember correctly.

I honestly can't remember the model number for the Grant hub you need. I know it was off a late model full size Chevy truck. I think its the early 90's one and I didn't have any probs. Just picked up the steering wheel and the hub at the local Oreilly's. The fenders are mismatched because I bought the car used and the bumper and fenders when pretty beat up and flimsy so I bought some local used ones. The hood is a Glasstek product and it comes gelcoated black thats why everything is black on the front end. No wrecks here though and I hope it will stay that way.

Thanks for the compliment. Just because the car won't see any street duty and I guess would be considered a race car doesn't mean it should not look good. Still trying to decide on a color for the car or maybe some sort of paint scheme but the mismatched colors will be going away pretty soon.

Dave-The driver seat is on a bracket my buddy made but the passenger is bolted directly to the floor board. No one really gets in anyways so it just there for looks

Here are a couple pics of the engine bay. All holes and seams were filled in for a smooth looking bay.
