Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"
Picked up the seat today. I am almost never fully satisfied with results of work I farm out, regardless of the cost. Very happy with the results. Feels nice but I sit a bit higher than wanted now, I fully expected this with the foam work. Will shorten the seat mount brackets about 1"-1.5" My modified inner bracket for the 60 side needs an additional 1" chop. I sat them in the truck to see how they look. What do you think?

Seats turned out good. I definitely understand the not being satisfied with farmed out work.

Thanks! Objective I am trying to accomplish with many of the modifications. As I need to modify all four seat brackets now. I am reconsidering a custom frame that bolts to stock mounting points. Going to look at seat risers again and make a decision on which way to go.

Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"
Thanks, they are starting to grow on me Steve Budy and his daughter did all the hard work. I provided the seat, material and he worked with me to achieve my vision. Maybe a slight variation of the original vision. I wanted a somewhat unique seat for the project that was comfortable, provided a bit more room and as said "looks like it belongs" I am very satisfied with the results.

Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"
I don't think so. Sounds like you're in my boat. I have found very few people in my life who strive for the quality, attention to detail I can see.
