Now it's clear! Yes, there is an additional hump installed over the transmission tunnel.

Here are some of the drill out spot welds. Actually, they're not quite drilled out. I needed to use a much larger drill bit to cut out all of the weld.

After way too much work, I finally got the transmission tunnel hump off of the donor car. Look at all of those big holes I had to drill.

I used a large pair of very good tin snips to cut the sheetmetal. I probably should've used a cutoff wheel in my pneumatic die grinder but metal particles would've flown everywhere.

The hole is getting close to how it needs to be shaped. Not quite there, yet.

Painted the cleaned up, cut edges to keep from rusting.

On the driver's side, I noticed that the crossmember wanted to sit just on the front edge of the weld tab of the SFC. What to do?

I made this spacer to take up the gap between the crossmember and "frame" due to the SFC weld tab.

A first attempt at some clearance for the weld bead on the passenger side. Fail!

I wanted to get that crossmember up there as accurately as I could get it before I drilled the rear holes. This is the passenger side.

They're the first set of stainless steel headers I've ever owned.

Bummer! I've got a couple of plug wire boots touching the headers. Definitely not good! These are brand new wires and I've looked at aftermarket wires. For being so short, they're pricey.

The floor of the car is pretty well done as far as sound deadening material goes. I'm still going to apply some to the doors and the roof.

I figured that it wouldn't hurt if I added some sound deadening material to the walls of the quarterpanel. The Peel n Seal is cheap and I've got plenty.

You can see part of the cable gland that isn't covered by the heat wrap. I'm planning on covering the gland with heat wrap.

Most of the wrapped cable is about one inch away from the header tubes but there are two areas that get as close to about 1/2" from the header tube. That's the aluminized wrap/sleeve that's 1/2" from the header
