Looks good! Gives me an idea of what to do with my dad's S-10. He's darn near 80 and I'm sure it'll probably be mine one of these days.

Here's the pics of the trans tunnel I didn't have to modify it as much as I thought. I cut out a section because I thought the trans would hit the floor but it didn't so I welded it back in.

Is the shifter coming through where the cup holder is? Will you have interference with the arm rest?

The shifter is coming through the cup holder, the arm rest is fine.

Yeah man I just dropped the rear end off to get narrowed with a 3.70 gear and a Detroit True Trac and Moser axles. The upper and lower control arms showed up today still waiting on the spindles.

I finally got some parts in so I could start the rear suspension. The rear end is a narrowed 8.8 from a fox body mustang it has a Detroit Tru Trac, 3.73 gear, and Moser 31 splines. The link bars are from UPR products for a fox mustang.

I got the rear finished today except for the coilovers, I have to start making disc brake brackets tomorrow for C4 rear calipers and C4 rotors. I also had Josh and Frank @ Universal Automotive make a driveshaft today.
