Re: 4th gen center console
hmm just need paint and tires... really.. its all primer right now. i got desperate for black and i wanted to see it in flat black in the front then regular paint for the rest but i ran out of paint.
tires... so damn expensive.. im poor. but i got nice rims

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
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...
