It worked out pretty good, had some cutting n fitting to do. I have tried to use as much as I could from the trailblazer, even utilizing the SS n Chevy emblems instead of buying the expensive 55 emblems.

Very nicely done. The narrowed dash looks factory. Did not read where your wheels came from. Choices are definitely limited. When I studied putting the entire floor and firewall in, it felt like I was running out of cab room to put seats in. Stayed with factory '59 floor. Will you be using smaller than the TB SS seats? Mine came out of a Saturn Vue. Mini Cooper seats looked promising too. I lowered the body onto the TB frame as low as I could reasonably get it. As a result, my front tires rubbed the top of the wheel opening when I was reversing and turning and when I was going forward up an awkward driveway ramp. When I replaced the front strut assemblies, it all stopped. I must have gained a little height with the fresh springs. Any bigger wheel/tire combo on mine would have not worked.
