      Awesome!

      Looks like mostly little things left to do like making the blue lever on that seat match everything.

        That is how you're supposed to jack it.

        Up and down.

          HA! I wish that was the only thing left to do. The interior is mostly done though. I gotta fab up a couple of seatbelt brackets. Drop the headliner off to get redone and after that it's just a few bits and pieces.

              Interior looks incredible. You can't even tell that the dash wasn't suppose to be there. Nice work!

                  The seats are power. The switches are in the door panels.

                    Yeah, but there isn't a recline handle on Maurader seats. They are 8 way w/ power recline just like the other Whales. That was why I asked the question. Now that you say it, I'm betting that the six way box seat rails were used and the handle is just for recline.

                              probably so he didn't have to snake all that wire through the door/floor for the seat controls.

                                I wouldn't think after all of the work he did that a few wires were deter him from doing that.
