I'm taking the plunge....2005 seats in a 76
Yeah at 6'5" you'll never be able to stand it. I haven't had a ton of time to mess with it lately but I did think of another option, and it might be something you would want to consider.... Take one of your seats and flip it on its back. What if....IF.....you unbolted the guts from underneath...- matthewdcase

I found a set of 5 at a flea market NIB and they sold them to me for $20 a piece. Scuffed them with 200 and 400. Used one can of paint per wheel, and half a can of satin clear per wheel. Held up on the tire machine just fine.- matthewdcase

They bronze is an acquired taste. It's hit or miss but I wanted something different. The funny thing was a guy asked me if I was building a bandit truck the other day and I said, "well i guess I'm not, not building one." HAHA.- matthewdcase
