I was always afraid of the avatar you have, I didn't think that green would work in real life, So I was glad to see your actual color is a lot lighter.
Now you just need to update your avatar!!!
Interior looks good too

the color was up in the air anyways.... i photoshop it about 30 different times and couldn't really find a color....... i just told my painter the idea and he mixed up a few samples and i ended up choosing the last one.... then the blue pearl..... looks nice in the sun... more of a cruiser color than a "i'm gonna stomp on you at the light" color

Not trying to be critical of your hard work, hella of a lot better then I could ever do, it just looks awkward to me for some reason. Would look more customized with the radius corners.

The sharp edges and flat surface just clashes with the flowing curves of the dash and the center console. You need to round that top dash area back into the center. IMHO.Glad to hear your changing the seats. They really stood out when I opened the page. Need to be gree also, but I'm sure you already have that in the works.
I also agree about the steering wheel suggestion. One of those new Hi-Tek wheels would go so much better with what you've got going in the interior already.
Got a hoot when I read you don't have a radio with all that ausio equipment
But I understand money and time. Keep at it. It's great where you're going.

thanks for the support..... i know i got some heat in the beginning when i started and i just kept with it.... i might make a more "curvy" gauge cluster to fit in better.... that was the first one.... notice that on the shift plate i don't have any heater controls... i took all that stuff out since i'll only be cruising the car..... i'm trying to get an exhaust done tomorrow but the places i stopped at won't do it since i want to stop before the rear suspension....... there's a big cruise this weekend and i'm trying to get the exhaust done for that...... so, i'm gonna search the forum for the exhaust threads we had and see if anyone made heat shields when they tucked the mufflers under the car..
