I tried to get the evaporator as high as I could under the dash.

This doubles as both an e-brake bracket and cover. I had to sink the handle into the floor due to the thickness of the floor and the tubular center section just under and behind the handle linkage.

Since I had a double firewall to work with, I was able to run the throttle cable right through the outer firewall and anchor it to the inner firewall. That way, there are no nuts on the engine side.

Mounting the seat on an angle to provide more thigh support.

Overhead gauges, ignition, h/a/d controls, air ride controls, wiper switch, etc. are all in the overhead panel. You have to stoop down to see them if you're just walking up to the car; it keeps the dash a little cleaner.

Here's the e-brake handle after the bracket was painted.

I used our rad mount tabs for seat belt brackets.
