Got both the doors done. I got a very satisfying *clunk* when I close them now 
Tomorrow, weather permitting, I will try to fill in all the other little areas I missed inside the cabin.

What kind of sound dampening material are you using under the ensolite? Is it necessary?
I'm going to be installing a fully active component setup in my WS6 after I get the interior gutted and fixed. Judging by your thread, I'm guessing you're a car audio guy. What are your plans there?

Actually, I'm not big on car audio at all. I'm fairly content with my stock bose setup, although I just finished up the wiring yesterday to add speakers in the sail panels. Mine only has 3 speakers from the factory.. I WAS going to go with 4 new aftermarket speakers, with a stealth box in the rear cubby.. but I want to retain the stock headunit, which apparently doesn't play nice with regular speakers. So oh well, not really a huge deal to me.. I'll stick with the stock stuff.All the sound deadening stuff is from RAAMaudio, and from an installation point of view, I highly recommend it. They have a good 'how-to' on their site, and it's cheaper than dynamat for example. Verdict is still out on the amount of noise reduction, since I still don't have the interior put back in the car yet. I can tell the difference driving it around as-is right now, so I'm thinking it should be a pretty drastic difference from a stock f-body once it's all said and done.

Got the rest of the interior put back together today! Feels nice driving a whole car again. 
Here's some final pics of the ensolite before the carpet goes in.
And here's some pics I took today
Old dash pad came out in several pieces....
Now that it's back together, I do think it needs a little drop.. That will wait until sometime this summer though when I'm ready for another project. Besides, I just spent my strano money on some new golf clubs
Still need to give it a good wash and wax, tint the windows, and get a decent sunshade to protect my new dash pad.. Also make a shim for my right rear caliper, and fix my A/C.. It's like a never ending list isn't it?

Yeah, I've never weighed those wheels, but you're right they are heavy!
All the sound deadening made a huge difference! Now the car feels so solid going down my parents driveway, not constantly squeaking and rattling.. it's nice

TBH, I think I like the thickness of this steering wheel better than the 00-02? camaro wheels. I've driven my dad's '02 TA and while I could definitely get used to the wheel, it always felt a bit thin IMO. I have another wheel that's in better condition that I'll swap mine with eventually.. I also like the pattern on the earlier seats than than the later ones. I also like the fact that these are period correct, and only available for 2 years, and rarely see them in good condition.. Also, I think the hurst **** is very comfortable 
A couple things I wouldn't mind changing however, are the shifter boot and parking brake boot. My shifter boot has a hole in it, and the rubber piece by the parking brake is torn.. I also need to get some decent floor mats.

Thank you sir. I've owned this car 8 years now, it was my first car and I take a lot of pride in the work I've done to it.
