66 Project (Pro Driver?)

Cutout all the way to the back and now the tunnel is going back in. The tunnel under the back seat is flat topped to make the seat frame mods easier. Hopefully.
The complete tunnel will give me just under 3” more inches of clearance.
I’m still working on this so I’ll post more pics as I progress.
I still need to build a mount for the shifter and a mount for the custom console. A stock console would never fit these new floor boards.
And I’ll need to strip the rear seat back down to a bare frame and modify the frame to clear the new larger tunnel.

I have literally 1000’s of additional pics if anyone wants anymore detailed photos of any aspect of my project. Or just questions...

I’ve carefully removed the upholstrey from the back seat to modify the seat frame to clear the new taller driveshaft tunnel. The frame is 3/16” rod so I fab’d up some pieces 2” taller and welded them in. The front edge where the upholstrey attaches with hog rings I fab’d up by shrinking, stretching and welding a piece of 18 gauge.

Added Dynamat to the new sections of tunnel and i’m starting the carpet process. The new tunnel is so tall I had to cut the carpet down the middle otherwise it wouldn’t reach the door sills. I’ll seam in another piece forward of and behind the console.
