Took a couple pics of RatFink. He is 12" tall.
And started working on my version of a Panel's rear door interior panel once a rear seat has been added. Still have some finish trimming to do, and I might fully Heat Weld the seam to make it fully one.
I bought '08 rear door panels from a windowed HHR in early Fall last year, and Finally was able to locate the rear Panel interior panels a couple weeks ago. (I wanted to SAVE my OEM Panels in case I did not like how this Mod ended up turning out, and as with every Mod so far, I can go back to factory Original if ever needed.)
It is looking good so far, once I finish trim it out, I may Heat Weld the seam, then re add the texture along the welded seam it should Blend in as one. Giving it a "OEM" Factory Look. If the Final Trim looks good enough I may just add some type of trim piece along the seam.
I'll decide how far to take it once I get both sides fully trimmed out.
(It has been about 25 years since I have done this type of a Custom job.)

I dod the fog light switch mod and adjusted the placement of the wiper so that it actually cleans the part of the rear window I see out of. (Never did understand why it only went 2/3 of the way.)

Richmond VA and back last night/this morning with Boo Boo for the NASCAR event, would have liked an RCR car in victory lane, but it was a good race anyway. Once the coffee starts to work its bath time for Boo Boo, dust and bugs galore.

Washed Boo Boo and did a quick detail, then I took Paddy to the BP for some fuel. Paddy's gas cap fell apart when I took it off so he's now sporting a new locking cap, never had a cap just fall to bits before, first time for everything I guess.

Looking good. I finally was able to locate a rear seat for my 08 panel. Purchased a rear seat with all the seat belts and hardware from a wrecked 2011 for $200. Almost in. 
I will post some pics when I get it completed. Pretty amazing, I gain extra seating but still maintain all of my cargo space.
