Thanks for your positive feedbacks! No. Actually I like the look of a polished, stainless steel IFS. A-arms moving when the car pass a bump is cool. I know it's a weird opinion, but that's me... The front mounted steering rack isn't the optimal look, of course, but I can live with that. And the head rests disturbs the look, I know. Trouble is that I once got rear ended and saved my neck thanks to the head rest. After that I'm not comfortable with driving without it. And if I should change my mind, switching to a couple of cool bomber seats isn't much work compared to all the other work I have done to get this car driveable. I could use bomber seats with some kind of simple, sturdy, yet easy removable head rest attached to the divider wall behind the seats. Maybe a future Project. Right now I'm changing color on the leather seats. Dark Brown/black like the rest of the interior. Then the head rests might get a little less dominating? We'll see...
Could always make fairings for the headrests that fit on the rear of the body like the old Jag and Ferrari (and others) race cars of the fifties, nice work from a rough start!
It may not be all that traditional but that is one mean looking brute of a roadster that looks like it will haul ass down the road and give some of the euro sporty cars a run for their money.
