Anyways, I remember you being very happy with their work. I would think they could make it happen for less money that a new seat?

Yeah..... he's done some of it two and three times!




I've done stuff on some of my junk more than that and still haven't gotten it right!

I'm not getting new seats. I didn't even think about needing the hole for the jock strap.

Greg, I'm man enough to admit my mistakes...

Did you read my full post?

I've got more "used" (barely) parts on the shelf than I have on my cars! Each one of them a mistake... or -- as I tell some people -- "they've been upgraded".

Greg, we're in the same boat. I was talking about all these other liars on the site.

Agree totally....

So many people just make excuses... or choose to just "live with it" whatever "it" is.


I often think - when reading or sharing on here - that "I just do hot rods" -- they don't have to be "proven" in a track or auto X situation etc.... and I think about how much stuff I've had to just re-do... and that's just for "street driven crap"! If I had to actually make it perform.... Well.... I just don't even want to think about it.

I've climbed behind the wheel of buddies hot rods/restorations/whatever... after they've just upgraded to big disc system ---- and thought I wasn't going to be able to stop AT ALL.... and they're happy as hell with this! Just the fact that they tossed the parts on there is all they can concern themselves with. Then I get out and they say "what do you think"? And of course, I tell them. Then we set about trying to solve what's wrong. But it's amazing how steep the learning curve is... and trying to make a track car "great" -- is even steeper! I give huge kudos to all those willing to tackle this challenge.

if you dont want to run the 5th, the schroths dont need the 5th point like a traditional harness. watch the crash test videos and you'll see what i mean. they have a little extra trick up their sleeves. but, the videos do only show the car being crashed one way. id love to see some more to prove their idea.

Todd, I remembered to snap a couple shots of the cross bar harness attachments. Be warned though, my camera died, so these are some of those dreaded Blackberry pics.
