I am LOVING this car project. Please post some video!

I might buy some of those old parts off of you so you can get your racing seats.Send me an e-mail : GlenEgebrecht ("*at*") frontiernet (DOT) net.

Bump.

How comfortable are the seats? Are we talking "you can put up with it" or "2 hour drive? no problem" comfortable?

Comfortable for a guy 6+ feet tall?

I would hate to buy seats that make you uncomfortable in teh car, but damm 18 pounds?

Yes, they are super light and they are pretty cumfy for the type of seat. I've had them in several of our shop cars and could drive them around pretty easily for being 6 foot 7 & 215 lbs. They are not comfortable for 38 or larger waste sizez as they get a bit tight.

Sweet.

I think your looking at like a 80 pound weight drop with these seats being 18 pounds each... pretty nice.

Talking 150+ pounds with a rear seat delete, these, and pulling the jack/tire out of the back.

Actually, after we spray it, we may end up with a procharger on it as I have a nasty 8 rib D-1sc getting freshened up at ATI. With 11.5 compression you can still run boost, but it has to be on RACE GAS. Compression and boost go well with each otheras long as you have the proper fuel to keep it from detonating. But for the time being, the TNT nitrous will provide plenty of torque to motivate this lightweight into some sick times!

Just got a couple shots from our Chassis Shop mocking up the new THR Basket Style Cage. Get Ready Vic, you're gonna have the same cage with custom swing outs in Bumboclaat!!! More pics when we get it complete and then down to paint!
