one thing i would like to point out is they way you did your seatbelts. the way there done by the factory is with only the bolt going through the carpet and into the mounting hole. with the way you have it i bet its going to pull on the carpet and try to rip it. doing it like the factory did it will yield the best results and also it will look cleaner. one more thing i noticed is the carpet over the Trans tunnel is is own piece, you could clean that up by sewing some sort or trim on it....
i did something like this only mine didn't get the good reviews yours did.lol idc
i made all of that, the top thing is carpet covered fiberglass and the 2 side panels are thin plywood covered in carpet. someday that black metal plate will have 15 or so rocker switches and a Hurst auto. shifter on it.
just a cuple ideas for you. BTW sorry about the bad pics, my new phone's camera sucks! thats the iphone for ya.

Looks good so far. I'd like to see pics with the seats inside to see how the shifter looks. I personally like the center console as I believe that way it looks more like a sportscar than a muscle car. Just a personal preference but good job.
Take some pics when you finish and you might change my mind.

looks good, but I think you still need something there, are you talking about leaving it without an elbow rest and just putting a boot on everything?
I had to tighten up my typing because people just gave me crap about it and I never got my questions awnsered, still cant spell worth a crap but they usually let those go, not all the time though

your right about them being to wide. also you need to watch how much higher they are going to make you sit. im 5'8" and i had about 1" of space between my head and the glass t-top when i put my seats in. lets just say there in the truck now. and that was without the power seat thing wich can make you sit 3" or more higher. it looks like it shouldent be a problem with the seats you ordered but thats what i though about mine.
