Seats
 

Thank you !!

Here you go ...
These seats are as comfortable as the Recaro's I put in my 69' Camaro, but the finish is WAY better and the leather as well. I'd put these seats in anything

Heated too ...

BIG Question
 

Now ... which one do I keep ? LOL


https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...eab5a32a_k.jpgIMG_9931 by Steve Heck, on Flickr

That's a very hard one. Both are so nicely done. I love the blue one as that's my favorite color, but the grey one is just so sinister looking. Decisions....decisions!!

The blue one is amazing. Well done, Sir!

Andrew

Which one do you like driving better?

They are both beautiful so it would come down to driving preference to me.

Damn, I wish that was my biggest problem! This is when being in decisive really helps, I'd keep them both! Real world I like hard tops more so the blue one, and that's the only thing I like more one over the other. I Love them both.

Steve my vote is sell the blue one.. i like a modern touch to the grey one . The blue one is just to stock aka restored looking for me lol but , hey they're yours and they are both amazing in pics and in person

Thanks guys
 

Thanks everyone !!

So finally picked up the grey one yesterday and got to drive her for a bit.
OMG sooooo different then the blue one. Fast, aggressive, loud ... its like the muscle car of 4x4's LOL. So at 1st Ryan I would have agreed that the grey one is the one to keep but I have to say the nostalgia of the blue 66' is really growing on me. And now once I replace the 4:11 gearing with the 3:70's this week it will drive so much better, not that it doesn't now.

PLus ... this just came in yesterday for the blue

Bronco
 

And on top of all of that, my buddy sent me a link just last night to a 1968 Ford Bronco here in Ontario that looks to be in not bad shape !!

Crap, this one is on my top 3 list !!
Let you guys know

Oh Ryan, my buddy is thinking of doing a 70' Chevelle ... how's your coming ??

Steve

Lmao the chevelle is almost in rewind .. sold the ls7 and t56 , ZR1 brakes are going on the silverado . Going back to Z06 brakes for the chevelle , sold my Anvil carbon hood and trunk . New plans await lol .... i will be going either lt1 or lt4 with hopefully the 10 speed auto , ultra carbon has everything carbon for the chevelle . Also VERY seriously looking at doing a C6 i.r.s so i may have a 12 bolt on the market soon . Now i just need to find some money

Fwiw imho
 

I'd rock this as a daily if it had a hard top!

You're in Florida...lol

Is keeping both not an option? Beautiful!!

73'
 

Thanks guys !! For now I will keep both until the spring at which time I will decide
Itching to build something else again guys ... been too long

Going to 'rock' the grey one for the next week or so topless !!

Hmmmmm .... FUN

IF someone is interested in the grey one let me know

If you're going topless, go ahead and lay that windshield down!

I think the tops are what would be the deciding factor for me...my preference is a hardtop...that I would probably never take off.
