When you get the hoe back can you post up some pics of the custom bracket for the GTO seats? Also can you post the link to audio shop that shows the progress again, cant seem to find it on here anymore...

Thanks

I'll get the best pics that I can w/o taking out the seats. I'm not very excited about taking them back out considering how many times that I had put them in & took them out during the frame fab. I modified the factory mounts and the driver's side is significantly different from the passenger side.

Here's the link to steve's thread over at DIYMA:

Picking it up on Thursday!! I'll have a little more dying to do when I get back, finish the bumpers, and then I'll send it to paint.

The interior looks great and I can't speak highly enough about Steve Cook and the rest of the Audio X team. The level of professionalism, customer service and raw talent has far exceeded my expectations! They will definitely be involved in my next build.

Enough w/ the promoting... here are some pics:

Thanks Thomas and I haven't forgotten about you. It's been slow going as we got a bit of a surprise this week... my wife is pregnant w/ our 3rd child. This one will make 3 under 3 yrs old.

Here's the progress so far..

That's crazy! Congrats man! Perhaps a burban build is in order?

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

I'm thinking short bus

 

[AZ Tahoe]

Wow yup sounds like you're going to need a few more doors!

 

[Pockets]

Congrats with the twins. .. we also found out this week we are expecting our 4th. So I'll be keeping my XL for a while... are you still keeping the exhaust in the rear bumper?

I was thinking burb or xl when we thought it was a single in there. Now, we're (she's) forced into the dreadful minivan because we'll be rocking 4 car seats & a wifey that doesnt wanna climb into a truck to get to the rear. I was pretty disappointed about our future vehicle until I found this:

Now, I'm somewhat optimistic.

Thank you... I think. Congrats to you as well! I hope you have a little more of an age gap than what I'll be working with. I am still on the fence about the exhaust in the bumper, but am kinda leaning that way. You have any thoughts?

 

[CHOO CHOO]

Why not just get a suburban or xl with second row bucket seats that way you can climb through very easily? Same as a minivan

 

[Pockets]

I have a 9yo girl, 5yo boy, 6 month old girl, now ???? due Nov.


I say get a XL/Burb and rock it. But that van is beyond sick! I'd like to get a E350 4x4 with a diesel for my DD but I'm sticking with the XL.

And I'd totally got with exhaust in the bumper, I think it sets it off

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

I'd like to get a burb, but since it'll be hers and she's giving up the car she really wanted and just got a month ago she can make the call. The sienna does have more room and the sliding door will be a LOT easier for a recently preggo wifey to get in and out of.

Anyway, made a lil more progress on the front bumper. Only things lacking are s few more mounting brackets, the prerunner bar, and some final welding & grinding. Then I can send it to paint.

Still have quite a bit of adjusting and aligning to do and some things I would do differently, but overall I'm pretty happy so far.

 

[Leedogg]

Dang man- Bumper is sick. Need you to build me a winch bumper for my Z71 Burb.LOL

 

[HortonHiresAHoe]

That is when ours are due. You're gonna have your hands full too. There are 15 months between our first two which is about the same difference between your last two, right? The 9yr old will be changing a lot of diapers if she isn't already
