Painted to match the wheels would be a nice detail...

Noticed you don't have a breather in either of the V/C's -- I see a PCV in the drivers side and an oil fill in the passenger -- is that temporary? You need a breather in there somewhere... can't have vacuum (the PCV) without some replacement air... :thumbsup:

That sounds like a great idea. Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

Ordered some new Arizen Racing seats several weeks ago to replace the stockers. I had them done to match in Ivory vinyl and deluxe houndstooth. I should have them next week and will get some installed photos up. Here are the actual seat pics from Mark at Arizen. Should really help with my sliding issues out of the stock flat bottom units under hard cornering. :)

Also got a set of Eddie Motorsports billet aluminum hood hinges in machined finish. Should help with some slop I have in the original stockers.

Those are really sweet. I love that Arizen does the houndstooth in their seats. That's going to look really sharp and be functional to boot!

Very cool. I like the fact that you had them done in houndstooth. VERY NICE!:thumbsup:

those look sweet!

Thanks guys. I wanted to stay with the stock interior theme and tie in with the stock rear seats. I think they will look pretty good once they are in the car.:cool:

I also ran into an issue with the original starter a few weeks ago. I had the car running for about 10 minutes and the starter suddenly engaged like I was turning the key to start the car!! Luckily I was in the driver seat and turned the key off......but it was still engaging! I ran around the front of the car to the battery and pulled off the negative terminal and everything stopped. I thought it might be a solenoid issue so I decided to switch to a mini starter to be safe. I pulled off the header, installed the new unit and everything seems fine now. There was no flywheel damage at all. It ended up being a bit of a blessing. The clearance was really tight on the header tube with the factory starter and I was having heat soak issue with the stock unit anyhow. The new starter is lighter, smaller and seems to crank the BBC over no problem. :thumbsup: Any excuse I can give my wife for parts upgrades is fine by me. :)

Got the seats installed this weekend. Came out pretty good. Sorry for the photo quality. The wife and the next generation both approve!
