Beautiful car. Am I right in thinking that I saw it in classic american magazine some time ago. I'm going to have to have ago at the aluminium sheets to replace the broken wood trim in my Z28

You get a copy - you let me know. I'll chip in and we can have duplicate interiors in Houston

I'm not sure if anyone asked, but is that the console model of the megashifter made for third gen's or the regular generic one?

It's a beautiful car inside and out:hail: . Most of the time the most awsome looking cars are the ones that took years to build up rather than months to slap together. Nice job

This has got to be the first thread EVER where everyone concurs in praising PM on his effort. I'd ask you to make one for my IROC, but after reading the detail involved, I find myself thinking "Damn, thats so custom and personal that for me to bite it would be weak" . By far PM, thats the best app of a 3rd gen interior. I think I would prefer that over my 4th gen interior (in progress)

I saw a car...can't remember right now what it was, but they did a custom job of transplanting the gas cap from a sports bike on to the car and it was one of the cleanest mods I'd seen. ....powermite I've seen the pictures of your car since you first posted them and I've always been amazed at your car. Very clean, very subtle and very tasteful. We should all aspire to have such a clean ride as yours. I've been tinkering with the idea of replacing my plastic panels on the console and radio plate with aluminum since mine have a few cracks, except I'd like to see if I could get them anodized black to make them a little more subtle, since my car is pretty much all black. So any new mods you've done since this one?

I finally stumbled across this site again where this guy has an awsome highly customized bird and he has a cool gas cap.

BTW, '99+ Mustang fuel doors (Bullit and other aftermarket) will fit with minimal mods. I took my stock fuel door off and held up my finace's Bullit door to it and it fits into the hole almost perfect. Bend a few tabs, make a couple of hold down brackets, and viola! Custom fuel door...

Powermite, I'd consider a set if the price was right.

Any new interior pics since you swapped over to the manual transmission.

BTW Did you get those measurements for me yet?

Another question, I see you said u used a round bar to make the rings, was it similar to a exhaust pipe but alluminum, and how did u bend it to get that lip on it which gives it that real sweet look. If you have the measurements or a cad file it would greatly be appreciated.
