I think there is! You've done a great job with the car and documenting the process

I just finished reading from start to current and must say very detailed and awesome build. I'm subscribing in case I ever do the swap. Question. You mentioned earlier about your shifter and console but said more on that later. I'm wondering what the console is from since I may have missed it.

I haven't really gotten to it yet. I'm using a 2002 Camaro console from a 6 speed car. The console fits the tunnel pretty well. It wants to lean towards the passenger seat a bit, but I haven't screwed it down yet either. The console is too short for a first gen, but I'm going to fabricate a filler piece out of mdf or aluminum, then staple felt over that, fiberglass it, sand it smooth, and cover with vinyl. Once everything is together, I'll spray the vinyl and plastic parts with the appropriate black SEM paint so it matches the interior. It looked black when I bought it, but compared to the rest of the interior it has too much of a gray tone for me (tough to see in the pics).

Here it is loosely installed:




And here's a very sophisticated Microsoft Paint job to show where the closeout panel will run:




I have a plan, but I'll post photos along the way, because that plan may change as I go.

Thanks Ron. Like I've said before, I have learned just about everything from online info, so I thought this thread would be a good way to pass along some of that consolidated info.
