    Been a long time coming, feels good to see it this far along. Got some CC851 springs coming to allow turning! 55 on wheels.jpg 55 on wheels 2.jpg

    gorgeous, soooo clean looking!
    Did you modify the dash ? The panel looks substantially different in the pic. Also, if I remember correctly, your front seats are from a Sebring convertible? If so, post a pic please, and could you measure the width at the bottom for me. I'm still thinking about switching, but not sure they'll fit with my wide console and thick door panels.
    Are you doing Goodguys in FW next month?

    Thanks all, I am in Evansville for the Frog Follies but when back I will measure seats Rich. The rear springs are Posies 3" (I think 3"), and the front is Fatmans dropped spindles with Aerostar cc850 springs. Thanks for the compliments, it will be a driver.

    Did you eliminate the vent windows? I like the look.

    Vent windows will be in place soon. Since I eliminated the fresh air vents the vent windows became more important.
    I am awaiting window frames back from chrome plater then gl*** will be installed. I do agree that mod would look good Brodie.

    Thanks okndnx. Rich I am sorry I forgot about your seat question. The seat in the pictures is just a spare I am using to move it in and out of the shop. The Sebring seats are in upholstery jail currently.
