Ok, why is this the first time I've noticed that Zephers shift handle comes out through his ash tray????

Haven't you posted a pic of that before?

He just did that for the pictures. He has an automatic 4th gen console so it wouldn't fit any other way. He'll have to modify it a little to get it right.

So will the 4th gen drivers seat bolt up to my power track in my '83? I dont feel like rewiring anything in my car...it is bad enough as it is. I think I may need to get my car rewired totally though..so maybe I can have them done professionally. Let me know either way.

It should bolt to the tracks, but the panel that the power track controls are on probably won't fit, so you'll have to fabricate a new panel to hold those controls. And you're going to be doing some custom wiring if you get the powered Trans Am seats anyway. Spend an hour and you'll be done.

I don't know what Klayborn's problem is, but it seems like whatever post I go to, he is there tryin to start a flame.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this?
