Hi Nord! yes, it has come a long way. The help that the local peeps have given along the way has been absolutely spectacular. Thank you and the rest of the PNW crew for pitching in on this long project!
Rich has become the sole supplier of parts for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and Jon B let me borrow his compressor for like 8 months.

@ Robert. Plan got pushed. next weekend I should get the cradle, transmission and junk and stuff.
Back to the garage....

So, late last night, I popped the glove box off the mold and trimmed the excess off.

a little trimming up and presto, a glove box.

@ Nord, It is big enough to hold registration, insurance card, 2 pair of sunglasses and 1 ticket.....

an oddly strange day at work. Took my lunch hour and did some work.
I got the glove box roughed in. left needs to come out about 2-3mm. Then straighten the edges of the box and loose some mass. This spot had a problem in my casting...
Then final fit, hinges, smooth it out, and put some felt in it.
just enough room for two pair of sunglasses, a small package of tissue, and registration/insurance stuff.
In the end it is about 7 inches deep. no where near the cavern that was stock, but, it also doesn't hang down below the dash.

Thanks! It is coming to a town near you at the end of summer. I might even have it road worthy... :

Next x
ditching the stock steering for a little adjustment.

Heya Jeff! it will need a lot less love than I thought inside the cabin.

the column is out of a 2002 VW beetle. We should be able to keep all of the adjustments in tack. So, it may be a little easier getting in and out of the car for me...or, it might just end up in my lap at full low...\

not much posting, but some progress
picked up my cradle and some other parts from Ian, just waiting for the final transmission mounting bracket.
did a final fit on my steering wheel
Redo of glove box as I was not happy.
The list grows both shorter and longer with each passing day.

Looking good Chris.
Nice cradle, hats off to Ian for that.

It looks like you will use the Subaru gauge cluster? If so, your tilting column will help you get it in and out.
Were you able to maintain the same arms length to the wheel? Using the WRX column, that was a big challenge for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Thanks,
No, not a suby cluster. gauge cluster on window pillar and looking at different options for speed and tach. I found a HUD for about 100 that has speed, tach, shift light, temp and low fuel light. So, the space may be just for a couple of gages or be eliminated all together.

so far the steering will go closer to the dash than stock and come way further out than the stock. So, I think I may have to get a seat in and check.
But, yes, my biggest complaint has always been the steering wheel getting in my way of getting in and out of the car. This should make that a non issue. I will probably also go with a D ring once I get everything sorted.

Great meeting you Chris, Im super exited to be a part of (if only a small part) this awsome build.

The rest of your parts should be there thursday. Can't wait to see this thing complete! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
