seats installed. I used the factory mount and the new seat sliders. I had to remove them after fitting to sandblast and paint.

Next is the custom center console. I have been thinking about making a third side door on the passenger side. The wing window will swing out in suicide fashion. Hard, yes. I think it can be done. I would get a mid 2000 full size extended cab hardware. Thoughts?

and I'm looking for a better steering wheel. anyone know something that would look good? Air bag does not need to stay.

That would be amazing yes. But how would reinforcing the body go? That would definitely be alot of man hours... I don't think it would be strong enough if the body flexed tho...

on a unibody or subframe model i would agree. As you know, this has a full frame. I feel the door will be fine if reinforced. this might be a next year project. I have to ponder it as time goes on.
