Post up pictures of the entire car if you can.

What are your plans for the interior? It's neat that your father in law's in with you. I wished I had that kind of support (emotionally, not financially) when I was doing my car.

With the help from my FIL I won't cut as many corners as I would have with out his help. I want to do it right the first time, nothing bothers me more than having to do something over and over and over and wasting money.

After I get it drivable then I will focus on the interior and the body. But the plan is to either use the new TMI seat cushions and covers or use Sparco seats. New carpet, headliner, Twist Machine billet stick, Modo pedal covers, three point seat belts and Trans-am steering wheel.

My FIL and I didn't really get along that long ago so it was a huge surprise to me that he wanted to help me. My wife can either take it or leave it but gets pretty frustrated when thinking of how much money I have tied up in the car and it's just sitting in the garage.

I don't think I have any pictures of the car when it was all together. I'm going to work on the subframe connectors tomorrow and will post up a overall picture of the car as it stand now.

Can someone explain what type of spacers go on either side of the coilover shock and where to get them?
