I have been working on the project but not early as earnest as I was able to do over the holidays.

Dash and frame were wider than the fox body. Cuts had to be made. That part of the project is primarily form fitting. Top of the dash had to be trimmed as well. The 05 dash sit deeper than the fox. To lock down the dash like the fox dash was, I've cut out the end cap from the top of the fox dash that screwed into the firewall. That piece will be fiberglassed to the under belly of the top of the dash.

Shifter is angled back. If your interested I'll post the measurements once I get to that part of the project. Center console is redesigned to be more functional. I'll have to post the prelim drawings.

Currently hung up on building the firewall mounting bracket. Primarily trying to find the time to work on it. Steering shaft is nearly completed. Can't build the last segment of the steering shaft until I have the firewall mounting bracket built.

Air ducting 90% complete. Built fiberglass air box connectors onto existing fox and 05 air ducting to match them up.

Door panels redesigned to carry on the traditional 65 panels. Big change to the door handle location because of personal tastes. Hope to have those built in three weeks.

My biggest challenge of all is going to be the instrument panel. Still don't have a solution that matches what I am looking to achieve. More to follow on that topic in a couple of weeks.

I have a ton of pics and need to post them up. Lots of little things for anyone that ever decides to take on this type of project.
