I used a set of late model GTO power bucket seats. They were too tall with the power stuff, so I stripped it off and put manual sliders on it. Pretty comfy.

Thanks Dieselwrencher. I usually do put the hood up cause they all want to see the motor. I don't know why, the look better with the hood down.

Thanks Flashed. I always appreciate any motivation I can get wherever it comes from. Hopefully you do get that beauty cleaned up and cruising. Back to causing smiles on your face.
