Re: 4th gen center console

I know what you mean... you'll get there little by little. You always read guys int he magazine that took 5, 7, even 9 years to finish their cars... I need to get my cowl hood repainted (since the clearcoat was coming off, I just wetsanded the clear coat off) and a few other minor mods... I plan on an LT1 swap later this year if $$ permits...

Re: 4th gen center console

Looks great man. Was it hard getting it to fit? I believe I heard somewhere that it's a bit of a challenge.

Re: 4th gen center console

normally the 4th gen center console with the manual shift plate isn't as difficult to install as a 4th gen center console with an automatic shift plate (if working with a auto 3rd gen). I installed a 4th gen center console and I have an auto and I had to pretty much make a new radio pod since the console has to sit closer to the front...
