That would be great! I'm definitely interested. That would be very helpful. I'm picking up a set  of seats on Friday. I'm going to try and get the GTO front seats to work too.

Also curious, how did that MCI console line up with the dashboard? Are you happy with it? Did you do anything to it yet?. Thanks!!

Found these pictures on a camera today.

I have modified my console a little to make it fit better against the dashboard,and also stretched it.
The quality is good,but you need to make your own console brackets.

Thank you very much for the pictures. That is going to be very helpful. My car is going back to Body shop Jail. As soon as it is back I will be attempting the seats.

Does the console go right to the back seat now since u made it longer? How much longer did u make it. How far did it go back before u made it longer? I'm not good with fiberglass was hoping it would be good enough as is to put in. I figured it would have to be trimmed to fit to the dash.

Thanks again.

No problem.  The console ends 4" from the back seat.
I dont remember,just took it long enough to cover the E-brake and fit the dash,but original it was 49" long.
MCI have many types,so check out their website : www.modernclassicsinteriors.com

The car are now moved to a friends garage to get the wiring,Fuel/brake lines and exhaust done there.
Berild Engineering are helping me with the work,and he is now working to customize the American Autowire wiring kit to fit my car and remove some of the things I dont need.

I've forgotten to post pictures of the Wilwood calipers mounted :)
The plan was to use 2 different colors on the text,but we agreed that we just painted everything red,then you need to take a closer look to notice the custom logo.

The car really looks great, how long did it take you to get your MCI console ? Mine took 3 months after some bashing on Lateral-G.

Thanks!
When I ordered he had 5 in stock and said he could ship the same day,but think it took 2-3 weeks before it was shipped :lol:
But yes, I have seen on PT forum and Let-G that some have waited months on their console.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
