Stock interiors.com I think. But on the bright side it's all molded to shape with the contours of the floor fenders ect. They just need to edit their print for the back is all, now if the front fits like crap ill be sending them some of the ol email feedback...

Rear seat mount is done.
I also may have a hick up in my build... There's a possibility I may move in the next few months but its still up in the air. So I may have to make it drivable sooner than planned and rip it apart agian later.

Seat mount looks good.

Been there, dealt with that with the getting it running/rolling to move. Not fun. Hopefully you don't have to deal with it.

My fingers are crossed to get many pieces in place to buy a particular house. It has the space I've been needing for years. I'm very hopeful. If it comes to be it will be about everything I've ever wanted.

In that case then I hope you get it. I missed mine like that. As much as I enjoy our place now I every once in a while think/dream about if the other one would have worked out. A 16,000 sf. lot with a small shop on it would have been lots more space for cars than I have now.

Pressed pause on the inside, removed the axel and leafs tonight. Final assembly on the leafs next, truss and rear gears. Rear should be rolling by the weekend. Also here's where I left off in the inside rear.

Thanks guys. I still need to weld on the resivoir can mounts and replace that rear drivers side arm rest lid but the back is nearly finished. Figured I should make it roll sooner than later in case I find a house to buy or I decide to buy the one I'm in. So I found a house with an 8 car garage but the guy isn't responding to my or my brokers emails so I don't know what's up with that guy. In the mean time ill just keep going on this thing, and if it comes to be that's great if not its ok too, at least ill have a toy to drive agian.

See I'm ok with bfe as long as it has what I'm after and it's affordable, my wife on the other hand likes being close to everything. It makes house hunting harder that's for sure. As we all know the in town cost alot more than the outskirts. Sigh...

welcome to the life of compromise. Wives never seem to understand the need for that 8 car garage we'd all love!

You got that right! I do have to say my jaw dropped when I saw that house though and the asking price. In a normal market it would cost 5-7 hundred k easy. It was way way less than that, and the schools are rated 8 and higher. Man I wish the seller would respond.
