They were highly recommended by a guy who has restored many vehicles.

Well, on the four day weekend I got the front fenders, bumper, radiator support and hood hinges off and took out the seat. Found an abandoned mouse nest and a dead mouse under the seat and cleaned up the interior with a vacuum.

Went to Pick-N-Pull and the wife and I pulled a set of Cadillac Catera seats for her truck. They say they are made by Recaro. Super comfy, classic looks to them for being modern bucket seats. She originally wanted bench seats until she saw these.

Thanks Arturo,
Very interesting reading in their catalog.

Oh man I know too many stories that are similar and even worst than yours. Its sad, but you simply can't trust a lot of guys to do what they say now days. The my word is my bond thing is fading into a thing of the past. Not with me though my word is my bond that's why I'm not quick to say I will do something.lol

Which is why you've never told me you'd do a damn thing for me!

I'm kidding, I'm KIDDING!!

So what's the latest on your truck, Bam? Been kinda quiet on your thread lately.

hotrod1 · 11-29-2012, 03:47 PM

They call it PAINT PRISON. Where is your car? It is in paint prison.

Once it is there, you have a very hard time getting it out. May take a pardon from the governor.

Not much buddy, but I'm doing what I can when I find time. The latest thing I've done was buy some drilled and slotted rotors and painted the suspension parts and install them for the last time hopefully.lol
