    seats made a huge difference! :thumbs2: they're waaaaaay more comfortable than the bench and you dont slide around through the corners:biglaugh:

    wanna give some thanks to CaptainComet for the measurements, MercuryCruizers for the pics of the risers, mean_maverick for convincing me how easy to make risers and last but not least, my dad for helping me make the risers and get out that huge bench seat lol... :rofl2:

    Absolute Coolness ... :thumbs2:

    Get some SEM dye and they will be fine. Good prep is the key.

    BTW ... the rest of your interior is soooooooo nice ... (insert jealousy here ...)

    Nice looking seats. They definitely stand out.:) I think dying them will really do the trick.(y)

    I have a tan door handle for the passenger door, send me your address and I will send it to you and you can dye it when you do the seats. You should dye them I think you would be happy with them. Whats next? oh yeah the v8 I almost forgot.

    Looking better all the time Matterick:thumbs2:
