If you don't mind me asking, what size waist are you? I'm asking because I looked at the Corbeau GTS II also, but Corbeau recommends for up to a 38" waist. Well I'm 6'3" 275 with a 38 waist, so wasn't sure if I would have head room issues or if my lats, waist or bottom would feel crammed. I see you state you're 6'1" but not sure if your having comfort issues or head clearance issues.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Mark

It's funny you say that, I am like a 36" waist but no comfort issues. However, they do sit a little high and I mean just a little. There is a thread though somewhere on here that I have got to find. There was a guy that took the brackets that come with these seats and he cut a rewelded so they would drop a little lower. I did not think I would have to do this because if I remember, he was taller than me. Now just to give myself an extra inch or so of headroom, I am considering it. Don't get me wrong, I don't hit my head or anything, but it is a little close. Great seats, though.

Edit: If you look close at a couple of the pics on the previous page, you can just about see how I am sitting. Now you being a couple inches taller than me, I'm not sure how much of a difference it would be for you. Sorry, I know it is tough when you spend that kind of money, you try to avoid having to send them back. How do your factory seats sit you?

So this past Saturday night, the local car show was holding its first of the year "Cruise In."

So I finished putting the Camaro back together and even put in a new rear package tray

Polished the wheels up...

Took it for a spin on this beautiful Saturday for a road test...

A buddy of mine just got his '66 Dodge Charger back from paint, so we cruised them together to the car show...

A good friend made these signs for me, even. Matched up the color great!

Although, it got a little chilly, it turned out to be a pretty good night at the Niftee 50ees Cruise In with friends, family, and even met some Lat-G members.

Thanks! Come on March! At least I think when they start doing this every weekend until November. It is a blast!


Anyone in the Spring area know if they still do Coffee and Cars at Vintage Park? They have not updated the site since mid December.

I think they started doing it again, but I've been going to the Woodlands show at 1st Sunday of the month in the mall. Much more relaxed.

Spiffav8 02-11-2016 09:29 AM

Home run brother! Perfect blue and so well dressed. Clean, Smooth and Balanced. Enjoy the ride!

:cheers:

Well, that is good to know. I am 10 minutes down the road from there. Thanks, I will be at the next one. :)

I could not remember your screen name glad you posted in my thread. Car is so sick man loved everything about it and really love it even more that I got to read this thread. Really is cool when you see something in person and look back at what it was transformed from. Great job Kenny love every detail you did on this car especially the color is so awesome in person. Look forward to meeting you again hopefully with my car this time. LOL

Just got through transferring links from Photobucket to a new photo storage. I did not want to pay Photobucket $400 to fix the broken links, so I just sat here this morning updating all the links.

Anyway, have not updated in a while, so might as well throw one more down.

Just been driving it and going to the local cruise-ins.

Oh, and I went to the dark side...
Fitech 600 Power adder EFI:

https://photos.smugmug.com/Other/Pho...IMG_6648-L.jpg

Runs a lot better and a lot better response. :)

Intimidator3 07-16-2017 01:31 PM

And this is after I finished installing the FiTech EFI


tmadden 07-16-2017 04:34 PM

Another great Texas car!!!!!!

waynieZ 07-16-2017 07:35 PM

Sweet sound of success! Nice.

gofastwclass 07-16-2017 07:46 PM

Sorry about getting raped by PB, I'm glad I never used them. The $400 they want for hosting is several times what anywhere else charges and more importantly is money that can go toward car parts.

The car looks and sounds great with the FiTech setup.

Bakaruda 09-13-2019 10:19 PM

I just went thru your complete thread, Man what a great car..... I'm going to PM you, I'm in Katy...

Goosesdad 09-19-2019 09:36 AM

Me too. Excellent.

I would love to know what you think of the Fitech system? I'm considering it on my build with a 383.

Thanks!

Dave Pratt 09-25-2019 01:36 AM

That makes two of us...nice build
