Dang you got me all excited.

basemodel67 · 01-13-2011, 11:50 PM

The title reminded me of a terrible memory involving a homeless couple, cheap liquor, and a park bench... along with a total disregard for the common decency to wait till dark to do certain things in public. If only I could replace that haunting mental picture with a picture if the seat we were all teased with seeing. And, once again, I am sorely disappointed.

Very Nice.

Make sure you wear a seat belt ! going around corners could find you sliding over to the passengers side or visa versa .

Yeah,if all seats were smooth like that there would be no need for mandantory seat belt laws. I like the smooth look. Haven't seen one in a while. That green is so "retro".

71sierragrande · 01-14-2011, 09:17 AM

Nice save. Looks so old school, doesnt get any better than that.

big_al_71 · 01-14-2011, 11:46 AM

Garthc20 · 01-14-2011, 11:59 AM

Garth, help me out. Who did this seat, and where is he located?

flashed · 01-14-2011, 01:42 PM

It turned out very nice ,I have free buddy buckets in my 72 .I also still have my bench seat taking up space in my shop. I guess I need to find a place to store it until I decide if the buddys are permanent .Neither of my seats look as good as yours though .

Garthc20 · 01-14-2011, 02:43 PM

The place is house of gnaugahyde in northpark on 30th
