Great project.
Love the bucket seat mounts you made.

Thanks Keith. I still have the bench in it, haven't gotten the foam worked out on the buckets yet. I got the idea from another member, don't remember his name now.

I also thought someone was making reproduction passenger bucket mounts.
They were non adjustable.
Might have been Early Classic Enterprises, who have since gone out of business.
I just sold an original set.

RogerKoop here on the board was having some made. I bought a set and may end up using them, because I made both mounts the same and I don't think I can modify the adjuster release lever to clear the console on that side.

A friend of mine put sniper on his 600hp 495 big block. He loves hopping in his 55 chevy and having it start right up every time. You should love it,especially once you get it dialled in.

So I discovered the coolant leak is actually from the heater hose connection at the water pump. I changed the fitting, the clamp, the hose, and finally the water pump, but it still persists. Anyone with an idea, please chime in.
